The following properties let you define advanced network and host properties:
Specifies the conditions under which file transfers are allowed. Valid values are as follows:
Specifies that file transfers are allowed regardless of the host's login state.
Specifies that file transfers are allowed when a user is locally logged on to the host computer, even if the desktop is locked.
Specifies that file transfers are allowed when a user is logged on to the host computer and the desktop is not locked. However, if a transfer is in progress when the desktop is locked, it is allowed to continue. New transfers cannot be initiated when the desktop is locked.
Specifies that file transfers are allowed only when a user is logged on to the host and the desktop is not locked.
Default: Continue Existing Transfers When Locked
Indicates whether Wake-on-LAN (WOL) information should be registered in the global address book (GAB). If True, users of the Remote Control viewer are able to remotely power up computers that support WOL. If False, WOL is only available from the DSM Explorer.
Default: True
Indicates whether viewer authentication attempts in a centrally managed environment are passed to the manager using the Remote Control scalability server.
Default: True
Specifies how the host computer authenticates user credentials when a request is made to connect.
If True, the host asks the manager to authenticate credentials using centrally managed user permissions.
If False, the host authenticates user credentials using a local list of users and permissions. This list is maintained by the local user using the Users tab of the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog and may contain both domain and local users.
Default: True
Controls whether the host can use a local security provider to validate user connections if it cannot contact its domain manager. Typically, the manager performs validation of user names and passwords. If the host cannot contact its domain manager when a viewer wants to connect, the host can load the local "Unified" security provider to validate. By default, this permits anyone in the Administrators group to connect, or the "root" user on Linux/Mac OS X. This feature can be used with Enable security caching in managed mode.
Default: False
Controls whether the host can use the local security cache to validate user connections if it cannot contact its domain manager. If True, the host can look in the cache and see if the user is present. If so, the user can be validated against the domain controller and cached permissions.
Default: True
Specifies the inactivity timeout period in seconds, that is, the maximum time a viewer can be connected to a host and be inactive before a timeout occurs. Only controlled remote control sessions are subject to inactivity timeouts. View-only sessions are not affected by the inactivity timer.
If set to 0 (zero), the inactivity timer is disabled.
Default: 0
Specifies the maximum time a login from a viewer to a host can take before a timeout occurs. This includes the time taken to answer a confirmation dialog (if the Force all connections to be manually confirmed by host property is set to True).
Default: 120
Indicates whether smart card redirection of user credentials from a viewer to a remote host computer is enabled.
Default: True
Indicates whether host printing can be directed to a viewer's printer.
Default: True
Indicates whether the Remote Control viewer is permitted to install required printer drivers. If printer redirection is enabled (True), printer drivers may be automatically installed when a viewer connects to a printer.
Default: True
Indicates whether meeting mode connections require confirmation. If True, then Remote Control prompts for the password of the host user before permitting a meeting session to proceed. If additional viewers join the meeting, the host’s password is required only to confirm the first connection request.
If the Confirmation of Meeting Mode connections requires host user’s password property is False, but the Force all connections to be manually confirmed by host user’s password property is True, the confirmation will be password protected.
Default: True
Indicates whether the password of the host user is required for all viewer connections. If True, Remote Control prompts for the password of the currently logged on user before permitting a connection to proceed. By default, this option is not enabled.
Default: False
Specifies that the local host user confirmation requirement be overridden when the Windows login window is visible and that the host accept the connection.
Default: Deny
Indicates whether the screen saver on the host user's desktop is always disabled.
Default: False
Removes the host's wallpaper, including any embedded web pages, during the remote control session. The wallpaper is restored when the session ends.
Note: This option is not supported on Linux hosts.
Default: False
Disables the display of the window contents when they are dragged from one part of the screen to another. If True, this option increases performance by asking the operating system to display a wire frame instead of the contents of windows. This decreases the amount of video data being transmitted.
Note: This option has no effect when connecting to Linux hosts.
Default: False
Disables menu and window animations, which are the fading and scrolling effects available within the display properties. If True, this results in a standard display of menus without animations during the remote control session.
Default: False
Specifies current Microsoft Windows style windows and buttons. If set to False, the Windows classic style taskbar, controls, and buttons are used during a remote control session, which increases performance by decreasing the amount of video data being sent to the viewer.
Default: False
Enables the viewer to lock the desktop of the host computer. This also applies to locks initiated by disconnections of any type, normal or abnormal. If False, the host user can refuse lock requests.
Default: True
Enables the viewer to log off the host computer. This also applies to logoffs initiated by disconnections of any type, normal or abnormal. If False, the host user can refuse logoff requests.
Default: True
Indicates whether the host user can lock and unlock the host. If False, only the domain manager can lock and unlock the host.
Default: False
Enables the recording of remote control sessions made to the current host according to user permissions, if True. If False, the other host-sided recording is disabled, and the other recording settings have no effect.
Default: True
Specifies the maximum amount of bandwidth permitted for viewer connections. Valid bandwidth values are as follows:
Default: Unlimited
Indicates whether the host always starts up in a locked state.
Default: False
Linux: Specifies that X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) be used for secure control login.
Note: Local XDMCP connections must be enabled in your display manager configuration before setting this option.
In secure control mode, a new Linux login session is created 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.
Note: The secure control feature in Linux requires the Xvfb (Virtual frame buffer X server) utility, and secure control connections are refused if it is not present. This utility can normally be installed from the Linux installation media, if not already installed by default.
Default: False
Indicates whether the host icon in the taskbar becomes animated when the host is connected to the viewer.
Default: True
Names a plain text file containing a EULA or other explanatory text to be displayed on the login confirmation dialog. This dialog appears when a viewer connects and the host is configured to confirm the connection with the user of the computer being connected to.
Default: blank
Defines the video capture mode for screen changes. The options available are:
In this mode, Driver capture is used if it is available. If the video driver cannot be installed for some reason, or the machine resources are too limited to load the driver, Polling capture is used as a backup.
Driver capture is used exclusively. There is no fallback to Polling mode if the Driver mode is unavailable.
Note: Mac OS X Hosts do not have a Driver mode for video capture. Instead they rely on a specially enhanced Polling capture mode, which uses low-level OS support to accelerate video capture. Therefore, modifying this setting has no effect on this platform.
Polling mode is used exclusively. Use for OpenGL & Direct3D applications.
Windows: See Notes on Secure Control in Polling capture mode on Windows.
Default: Auto
Specifies the size of the kernel mode buffer used to store temporary data generated by the video capture driver.
Default: 4194304
Specifies that the video driver be loaded when the host starts. This option may be needed to suppress flickering of the display when connecting.
Default: False
Specifies that device bitmaps be enabled. Device bitmaps increase the performance of viewer sessions, but they require more memory on the viewer.
Default: True
Specifies how to handle non-standard legacy system fonts if they are installed on the host computer or if viewers are not able to display these fonts correctly. This setting affects only standard system raster fonts and not TrueType or third-party fonts.
Note: This setting can be overridden at the viewer computer by disabling the Embed Missing Fonts option on the Experience tab in the Connection Settings dialog. For more information, see the Remote Control Viewer Help.
Valid options are as follows:
Specifies that system font bitmaps must not be sent.
Sends console (command prompt) fonts as bitmaps.
Sends all system fonts as bitmaps.
Default: None
Specifies that all host recordings be recorded in a format that is compatible with Unicenter DSM Release 11.2 and earlier. If you do not select this option (False), recordings made by the host may be unplayable on older viewers (prior to Unicenter DSM Release 11.2 C2). However, enabling this option (True) disables some of the video capture optimizations added in newer release when host-side recording is active.
Default: False
Specifies which font files to embed when recording host sessions. Valid options are:
Default: Record Selected Legacy Fonts
If True, specifies the use of the substantially enhanced video capture system in CA ITCM Release 12 that improves performance in low bandwidth environments. The performance of this capture system should be better than the performance of the Unicenter DSM Release 11 video capture system in nearly all cases.
If False, reverts to the Unicenter DSM Release 11 video capture system in the unlikely event that remote control performance for a specific application is degraded.
Note: This setting only affects Windows operating systems when using the Driver or Auto capture mode.
Default: True
Limits the maximum amount of memory in megabytes that the host allocates for caching of bitmaps.
Reducing this value will reduce the maximum memory consumption of the host, when in session, at the expense of increasing potential bandwidth requirements for the session.
However, Remote Control automatically limits the size of the bitmap cache if 256MB or less of RAM is installed.
Default: 64MB
If True, specifies that the host automatically use a CPU and memory-intensive aggressive caching technique when the available session bandwidth is low to further reduce the bandwidth requirements of Remote Control.
You may want to disable this behavior on computers with limited CPU or memory resources, for example, point-of-sale terminals. However, Remote Control will automatically avoid using aggressive caching if 256MB or less of RAM is installed.
Default: True
If True, specifies that bitmaps be dithered, that is, their colors blended, during the reduction process for host-side recordings.
Default: False
Specifies that the color depth of bitmaps should be reduced for host-side recordings. Valid values are as follows:
Default: No color reduction
