Administrator Guide

2. In the Broker Setup tab, from the drop-down list, select the Broker type as None.
3. Click ICA connection protocol, and click Configure.
The Default ICA dialog box is displayed.
NOTE: Default ICA is always used for direct connection to a published application and not for StoreFront or
PNAgent.
4. Click the Connection tab.
To configure the ICA connections, do the following:
a) Server or Published Application—Select the type of connection to which the settings apply.
b) Connection Description—Enter the descriptive name that is to be displayed in the connection list (38 characters maximum).
c) Browser Servers—Enter a delimited (comma or semicolon) list of IP addresses or DNS-registered names of ICA servers that
contain the master browsers list, or that can direct 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 that is 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.
d) Host Name or Application Name (title depends on the Server or Published Application option that is selected)—You can enter a
delimited semicolon or comma-separated list of server host names or IP addresses, or you can select from the list of ICA servers or
published applications that are 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 will attempt to connect to the next server on the list if the previous server
attempt fails. If you use the list and the selected connection fails, the thin client will attempt to connect to the next one on the list.
NOTE: 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. However, it tries to resolve the name without using the default value.
e) 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 enables faster communication between the device and the ICA
server because it requires less processing than the higher levels of encryption.
NOTE:
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.
f) Use HTTP for browsing—When selected, the thin client, by default, uses HTTP when browsing.
g) Alternate address via firewall—When selected, the thin client uses an alternate IP address that is returned from the ICA master
browser to get through firewall. This is used for the Windows login when the connection is activated.
h) Display Resolution—Select the display resolution for this connection.
If you select the Published Application option, the Connection Display allows you to select the Seamless Display Resolution
option.
i) Colors—Select the color depth of the ICA session. If High Colors (16-bits) or True Colors is selected and the ICA server does not
support this color depth, the thin client sets the color depth to the lower value, for example, 256 Colors (8-bits).
j) Window mode and Full screen mode—Select the initial view of the application and desktop in a windowed screen or full screen.
k) Auto-connect on start-up—When this option is selected, the thin client automatically connects the session on start-up.
l) Reconnect after disconnect—When this option is selected, the thin client automatically reconnects to a session after a non
operator-initiated disconnect. The wait interval is the value that you set in the Delay before reconnecting box (enter the number
of seconds 1–3600). The default is 20 seconds, if there is no INI parameter used for this connection, or if you are a stand-alone
user.
5. Click logon tab, and use the following guidelines:
a) Logging on area—Enter username, password, domain name, and logon mode.
If the login username, password, and domain name boxes are not displayed, enter the information manually in the ICA server login
screen.
• Login Username—Maximum of 31 characters is allowed.
• Password—Maximum of 19 characters is allowed.
• Domain Name—Maximum of 31 characters is allowed.
• Logon Mode—Select User-specified credentials, Smart Card, or Local User.
b) Start Command area—Server Connection Option Only—This area is disabled for a Published Application option.
