Description
Enables you to select the protocol that will stream the sequenced application package from
a virtual application server to an Application Virtualization Desktop Client. The following
protocols are available:
•
RTSP—The default, it specifies that the Real-Time Streaming Protocol controls the

• RTSPS—Specifies that the Real-Time Streaming Protocol with Transport Layer
Security controls the exchange of a sequenced application package.

application servers that will stream the software package to an Application Virtualization
Desktop Client.
You must complete this item to create a sequenced application package, but you can
change from the default
hostname or IP address of a virtual application server.
Note • If you choose not to specify a static hostname or IP address, on each Application Virtualization
Desktop Client you must set up an environment variable called SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER.
•
Its value must be the hostname or IP address of the virtual application server or load balancer that is
this client's source of applications.
•
You should make this environment variable a system variable rather than a user variable.
•
Any Application Virtualization Desktop Client session that is running on this computer during your
assignment of this variable must be closed and then opened so that the resumed session will be
aware of its new application source.
