Table 23. ICA connect: options (continued)
Option Description
Used here is an option of the Connect statement. It sets the
value of NoReducer only for this specified connection.
NOTE:
By default the ICA protocol compresses the data to
minimize the amount of data that needs to traverse the
network. This compression can be as much as 50 percent
for text-based applications such as Microsoft Word and
40 percent less for graphics applications than the data
streams that are not compressed.
OnScreen={1-6} In multi monitor span mode, this value indicates which screen
session must display fullscreen.
Password={password, $SYS_VAR}
Password to log-in to the application server. Either a
conventional login password or a variable can be used.
Maximum of 19 characters are allowed.
The value of password is a conventional login password.
The value of $SYS_VAR is a system variable found in Table:
System variables.
NOTE:
The application server password is not encrypted; it is
strongly recommended not to specify it. The user will be
prompted to enter the password when the connection is
made. This application server password directive never
starts a line, so it can be distinguished from the thin client
user sign-on password which does starts a line.
NOTE:
The Password option is not written into a {username}.ini
file by a user. When the New Password check box is
selected, the system writes the new, changed password
into the {username}.ini file with encryption. This password
is then checked against the sign-on password with
encryption to determine whether sign-on is successful.
Password-enc=an encrypted password Specifies an encrypted string as a password for a connection.
Reconnect={no, yes, 1 to 3600 (seconds)} Default is no.
Controls automatic reconnection to an application after a
server disconnection.
yes — Use to restart the connection; the default delay time
for yes reconnect is 20 seconds.
no — Use to prevent reconnection after a disconnect.
1 to 3600 — Use an integer value of 1 to 3600 seconds to
restart the connection after the delay you want. For example,
use 50 and the automatic reconnection to an application will
occur after 50 seconds.
Resolution=[default, Seamless, <monitor resolution>] Default is default.
Specifies the connection display resolution.
default — Starts the connection using the current desktop
display setting with no window frame and border.
