Login URL

The SGD Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to use for the profile. This is usually http://server.example.com/sgd, where server.example.com is the name of an SGD server.

If you use a browser to display the SGD webtop, the URL is loaded automatically in your default browser so that you can log in and access your webtop.

In Integrated mode, the URL is only loaded in your default browser if you need to log in to SGD.

The default Login URL is http://server.example.com/sgd/index.jsp.

Connect on System Login

If enabled, the SGD Client is started automatically with this profile whenever you log in to your computer.

If enabled, the SGD Client creates an application shortcut or symbolic link for itself in the startup folder of your desktop system.

This is disabled by default.

Add Applications to Start Menu

Controls how you use SGD.

If enabled, the applications you can run are displayed in the desktop Start or Launch Menu on your computer. This is called Integrated mode.

If disabled, the applications you can run are displayed on a webtop in a browser.

With Integrated mode, you cannot suspend and resume individual applications or pause and resume individual print jobs.

This is disabled by default.

Automatic Client Login

If enabled, as soon as the SGD Client starts, it attempts to log you in automatically to SGD. Your Administrator can tell you whether automatic logins are being used.

You can only enable this option if the Add Applications to Start Menu setting is enabled.

This is disabled by default.

Alternative PDF Viewer

The application command for an alternative Portable Document Format (PDF) viewer to use with PDF printing.

If the application is not on your PATH, type the full path to the application.

This setting only applies to UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X platform computers.

Logging

Controls the amount of information that is output to the SGD Client log file.

The output is logged to a text file in the same directory as the SGD Client.

The default is Errors only.

Preferred Language

The default language to use when the SGD Client is started from the command line. For example, when the SGD Client is in Integrated mode.

The language selected is used for messages displayed by the SGD Client, the login dialog, and the webtop.

The default is English.

Check for Local X Server

If enabled, the SGD Client checks whether there is an X server running on the computer.

Enabling this option can improve performance when launching X applications that are configured to display using an X server on the computer.

This setting only applies to Windows computers.

This setting is disabled by default.

Proxy Settings

Settings that control how the SGD Client determines what proxy servers to use.

Use Default Web Browser Settings means use the proxy server settings configured in your default browser.

Manual Proxy Settings enable you to define the proxy server settings in the profile. You can specify an Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) proxy server.

If the proxy settings are determined from a browser, the settings are stored and used the next time the SGD Client starts.

If Establish Proxy Settings on Session Start is enabled, the SGD Client obtains the proxy settings from the browser every time it starts. The stored proxy settings are not used. If Automatic Client Login is selected, the Establish Proxy Settings on Session Start setting is not available.

By default, the Use Default Web Browser Settings check box is selected and the Establish Proxy Settings on Session Start check box is not selected.

Connection Failure

Settings that control what the SGD Client does if the connection to an SGD server is lost: Whether to always reconnect, to never reconnect or to ask you what to do.

If the SGD Client reconnects, these settings control how many attempts are made to reconnect and the time in seconds between each attempt.

If the SGD Client is unable to reconnect, the webtop session ends and any running applications are ended or suspended, depending on how they have been configured for you.

The default settings are: Always Attempt to Reconnect, Number of Attempts: 6, and Interval: 10.
