Use the Connect tab to specify login and password information required by the computer to which you want to connect. You can also modify the user name and password from this tab.

Permits the viewer to see the host computer but not control it.
Permits the viewer to see the host computer without interfering with its display and performance and without the host acknowledging the connection. This is called passive monitoring. The host screen does not change when a connection is made, but it may flicker when connecting or disconnecting. To avoid flickering, set the Suppress display flicker on connect policy to True. On Windows hosts, the Load driver on start policy must also be set to True to avoid flickering.
Note: For more information about these policies, see the Video capture Policy Group topic in the Configuration Policy section of the DSM Explorer Help.
Permits both the viewer and host to have control.
Permits multiple viewers to a single host, giving the host the ability to pass or restrict control to any one of the student viewers.
Disables the host's mouse and keyboard. Only the viewer can control the host's computer, and only one viewer at a time can be connected.
Windows: In Secure Control and Exclusive Control modes, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence cannot be blocked, because it is a low-level security feature of the operating system. This means the host user may be able to interfere with remote control operations by repeatedly pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to switch to the login desktop or to open the Task Manager. However, after issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the host user will still not have keyboard or mouse control of the desktop.
Linux: This option prevents other users from connecting when there is a session in progress; the host's mouse and keyboard are not disabled.
Windows: Gives the viewer control over the host computer similar to the exclusive control option, but also blanks out the screen. In secure control mode, only one viewer can connect. A secure control message screen is displayed; this screen is configurable and displays a static HTML page.
Windows: In Secure Control and Exclusive Control modes, the Ctrl-Alt-Del key sequence cannot be blocked, because it is a low-level security feature of the operating system. This means the host user may be able to interfere with remote control operations by repeatedly pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del to switch to the login desktop or to open the Task Manager. However, after issuing a Ctrl-Alt-Del, the host user will still not have keyboard or mouse control of the desktop.
Note: The secure control mode uses multiple-monitor operating system features with which some versions of the Intel Display drivers are not fully compatible. If Remote Control detects a driver compatibility problem, it does not display the secure control message, “Secure Control Session in Progress.” Instead, the host screen becomes black. Using the latest display drivers from Intel resolves the problem.
Linux: Creates a new login session with a hidden desktop that only the viewer can see. Note that remote control connections to Linux hosts in this mode do not control the desktop of the currently logged on user. Multiple concurrent secure control connections are supported, and each connection creates a separate hidden desktop.
Mac OS X (Intel): The secure control feature is not supported.
Default: Shared Control
The list of available connection addresses is retrieved from the address book.
Choose a connection address from the Connection drop-down list, or select User Defined to manually enter a network protocol and address.
Note: This field is only available when opening a computer from an address book.
Note: This field is available if User Defined is selected in the Connection field or when connecting using the Quick Connect option.
Note: This field is available if User Defined is selected in the Connection field or when connecting using the Quick Connect option.
Connects to the interactive session on the target computer.
Connects to the specified session on the target computer. This session can be interactive or remote interactive session.
Connects to the specified users session on the target computers. This session can be interactive or remote interactive session.
Note: This format is not supported if the user is logged into multiple sessions on the same target computer.
If not selected (default setting), the viewer attempts to connect as the currently logged on user (unified logon). Unified logon is useful, for example, if you work in an environment where you are forced to change your password every 30 days.
Note: If the computer has been opened from the global address book (GAB), the user name and password are automatically filled with the user name and password retrieved from the GAB. If unified login was used to connect to the GAB, then the Connect as a different user option will be unchecked.
When you click this field for the first time, the repository list is queried from the host computer. This causes a short delay while this information is retrieved.
The User name field is entered automatically if you added the user credentials when you created this computer in the local address book, or if the computer has been opened from the global address book (GAB).
Note: When using a hierarchical directory like Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) or Novell Directory Services (NDS), you need to specify the Full Qualified Distinguished Name (FQDN) for the user. (For example, for the Microsoft Active Directory domain, company.com, a possible FQDN is 'CN=1,OU=Europe,DC=company,DC=com', and for NDS a possible FQDN is 'CN=user1.OU=Sales.O=Europe'.) For LDAP, you can use the User Principle Name (UPN), for example, user login name@domain name, as a shortcut when UPNs are supported in your Active Directory environment.
Note: If Meeting is selected from the connection type drop-down list, no password is required to connect and this field is disabled.
To change the computer-specific connection settings, such as IP address, access the properties of the selected computer in the local address book.
Note: This field is not available when using the RC Viewer Web Interface.
Default: False
Your connection settings are saved.
Note: The Help button is not available when using the RC Viewer Web Interface.
