Configuring Connection Settings Locally
Use the following guidelines on the Connection tab:
Server or Published Application - Select the type of connection to which the
•
settings apply.
Connection Description - Enter the descriptive name that is to appear in the
•
connection list (38 characters maximum).
Browser Servers IP - Enter a delimited (comma or semicolon) list of IP addresses or
•
DNS-registered names of ICA servers that contains the master browsers list, or that
could refer to another server that contains the list. The master browsers list is
generated automatically by a browsing program on one of the ICA servers (selected
by negotiation between servers). It is used to provide the information displayed in
the Server Name or IP box. No entry is needed if the list is on an ICA server in the
same network segment as the thin client. No entry is necessary if the connection is
to a server, or if the server name or IP contains the IP address of the server.
Host Name or Application Name (title depends on the Server or Published
•
Application option selected) - You can enter a delimited (semicolon or comma
separated) list of server hostnames or IP addresses, or you can select from the list of
ICA servers or published applications (depending on Server or Published
Application option selected) obtained from the ICA master browser (you can also
use Browse next to the box to make the selection you want). If you enter a
delimited list of servers, the thin client attempts to connect to the next server on the
list if the previous server attempt failed. If you use the list and the selected
connection fails, the thin client attempts to connect to the next one on the list.
TIP: The Host Name may be resolved using one of three mechanisms: ICA master
browser, DNS, or WINS. Master browser is the only mechanism that can resolve a
published application (unless manual entry is made in DNS for the application). DNS
uses the default domain name in the network control panel to attempt to construct
an FQDN but will also try to resolve the name without using the default.
Encryption Level - Allows you to select the security level of communications
•
between the thin client and the ICA server. Basic (the default option) is the lowest
level of security. Basic allows faster communication between the device and the ICA
server because it requires less processing than do the higher levels of encryption.
CAUTION: The encryption selection applies to the security of communications
between the thin client and the ICA server only. It is independent of the security
settings of individual applications on the ICA server. For example, most Web
financial transactions require the thin client to use 128-bit encryption. However,
transaction information could be exposed to a lower level of security if the thin
client encryption is not also set to 128 bits.
Use HTTP for browsing - When selected, the thin client, by default, uses http when
•
browsing.
