Configuring Settings For Client Sessions - VMware View Manager 4.5 Admin Manual

Configuring Settings for Client Sessions

You can configure global settings that affect the client sessions that are managed by a View Connection Server
instance or replicated group. You can set the session-timeout length, require SSL for client connections and
View Administrator, display prelogin and warning messages, and set other client-connection options.
Set Options for Client Sessions and Connections
You configure global settings to determine the way client sessions and connections work.
The global settings are not specific to a single View Connection Server instance. They affect all client sessions
that are managed by a standalone View Connection Server instance or a group of replicated instances.
You can also configure View Connection Server instances to use direct, nontunneled connections between View
clients and View desktops. See
configuring direct connections.
