Preface

The Oracle Secure Global Desktop 4.6 Administration Guide is a comprehensive guide to how to configure, administer, and troubleshoot problems with Oracle Secure Global Desktop (SGD). This document is written for SGD Administrators.

How This Book Is Organized

Chapter 1 describes how to integrate SGD into your network infrastructure and secure the network connections used by SGD.

Chapter 2 describes how users authenticate to an SGD server to log in to SGD. This chapter also covers how users authenticate to an application server to run an application.

Chapter 3 describes how you use organizational hierarchies to manage SGD users and give them access to applications.

Chapter 4 contains advice on configuring applications that users can run through SGD, and how to diagnose and fix problems with applications.

Chapter 5 describes how to enable support for peripherals and other client device features from applications displayed in SGD.

Chapter 6 describes how to install, configure, and run the SGD Client. Webtop configuration is also covered.

Chapter 7 describes how to configure and monitor SGD servers and arrays. Some system administration features of SGD, such as the Administration Console, log filters, and installation backups are also covered.

Appendix A describes global settings which apply to all SGD servers in the array, including the password cache and token cache.

Appendix B describes server settings which apply to the specified SGD server in the array.

Appendix C describes the supported object types in SGD and their attributes. Usage details for setting attributes using the Administration Console are included, along with the equivalent SGD command line.

Appendix D describes the available SGD commands. Examples are included for each command.

Appendix E contains reference information about the SGD login scripts. You can use this information to customize the standard SGD login scripts, or to develop your own login scripts.
