Table 14. RDP connect options (continued)
Option Description
Maximum total of local entries is 16.
Logon_mode=prompt
Specifies one dialog box will pop up to allow a user to enter
username, password, and domain before connecting to the
RDP session. This can prevent the need to input credentials
twice in some cases of server redirection (load balancing).
Lowband={no, yes}
Default is no.
Yes/no option to enable optimization for low speed
connections such as reducing audio quality and/or decreasing
protocol-specific cache size.
Mapdisks={no, yes}
Default is no.
Yes/no option to auto-connect and map any connected USB
flash drive upon connection start.
NoReducer={no, yes}
Default is no — Enables compression.
Yes/no option to turn off compression. To turn off
compression, enter yes. Used here is an option of the Connect
statement. It sets the value of NoReducer only for this
specified connection.
NOTE:
By default the RDP 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 uncompressed data streams.
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 System
Variables.
NOTE:
The application server password is not encrypted; we
strongly recommend 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 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.
