When you configure the Quick Deploy and Connect host properties, you choose
whether to cancel the thin host after the connection ends. If you cancel the thin
host, you can deploy another host using Quick Deploy and Connect, and then
connect. If you let the host continue running, you can reconnect to it using Quick
Connect.
See "Connecting to another computer using Quick Connect" on page 114.
When you reconnect to a host, you must logon using the authentication type that
was configured for the host. For example, if the host was configured for Windows
NT authentication, you must provide your Windows NT authentication credentials
to reconnect to the host.
In the case of a Windows thin host, if the encryption level of the remote computer
is different than the encryption level that was configured for the host, pcAnywhere
automatically lowers the encryption level of the computer with the higher
encryption level to match the encryption of the computer with the lower encryption
level. For example, if the host encryption level is configured for pcAnywhere
encoding and the remote encryption level is configured for symmetric encryption,
pcAnywhere automatically lowers the remote's encryption level to pcAnywhere
encoding. For Windows full hosts, as well as Mac and Linux thin hosts, in this
case, the encryption levels are raised.
Symantec pcAnywhere also lets you deny the connection if the host and the remote
are using a lower level of encryption. Encryption can also be denied if the algorithm
is different.
The Quick Deploy and Connect host configurations for Windows, Linux, and Mac
OS X contain the minimum settings that are needed to support a Quick Deploy
and Connect remote control session. After you configure the Quick Deploy and
Connect host for initial use, pcAnywhere uses these default settings for future
Quick Deploy and Connect sessions. Symantec pcAnywhere lets you edit these
settings using the configuration wizard.
