This appendix includes configuration information for advanced users of Sun Secure Global Desktop (SGD).
You can change some of the following settings for your SGD Client:
To display the Client Settings tab, you click the Edit button in the Applications area of the webtop. You can only edit client settings for the SGD server you are currently connected to.
Note - Your SGD Administrator determines if you are allowed to change your own client settings. |
You use the Login URL setting to specify the location of the login page on the SGD server.
This client setting applies when you are logging in to SGD from the desktop Start or Launch Menu.
The Login URL is usually http://server.example.com/sgd/index.jsp, where server.example.com is the name of an SGD server.
You use the Preferred Language setting to specify the language used for the login page and on-screen messages.
This client setting applies when you are using SGD from the desktop Start or Launch Menu.
You use the settings in the Proxy section of the Client Settings tab to specify the proxy servers used by the SGD client.
The default setting is to use the same proxy server settings as your browser. But you can enter manual settings for an HTTP proxy server.
When printing PDF files on UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X platform computers, the PDF file is normally displayed using the default PDF viewer for the computer.
You can override this by specifying another PDF viewer for the Alternative PDF Viewer setting. Type in the application command for the alternative PDF viewer. If the application is not on your PATH, type the full path name for the application.
If you are using a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X computer, you can override the settings made by the SGD Administrator and configure printers on the computer.
Typically, your SGD Administrator configures the available client printers for you to use. However, if you are printing from a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X platform computer, you can override these settings and configure your own client printers. You do this by defining them in a client printer configuration file in your home directory at $HOME/.tarantella/printerinfo.txt. This file is not installed by default. You must create this file, or ask your SGD Administrator for a template file that you can install and edit.
The format of the printer configuration file is as follows:
[UNIX] "printer_name" = "windows_driver" printer_type "printer_name" = "windows_driver" printer_type...
printer_name is the name of the printer as it is known to the lp or lpr system on the computer.
windows_driver is the name of the printer driver to use when printing from a Microsoft Windows application server.
printer_type is the format to be used for the print job. The values can be PostScript, PCL, or Text.
An example of a client printer configuration file is as follows:
[UNIX] "drafts" = "HP DeskJet 970Cxi" PCL "salesprinter" = "HP LaserJet 5/5M" PostScript
This defines two client printers: drafts and salesprinter. You can then use the following command to print from a UNIX platform application to salesprinter:
$ lp -d salesprinter file |
Your SGD Administrator configures whether you can access the drives on your computer from applications running through SGD.
If you are using a UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS X platform computer, by default your home directory is mapped to a drive called “My Home.” But you can configure the drives you want to use with applications. This is done by editing your client configuration file, $HOME/.tarantella/native-cdm-config. This file is automatically created when the SGD Client is installed. The file contains detailed instructions on how to create mapped drives.
The configuration file contains entries of the form <path> <type> <label>, where:
Use a separate line for each drive and separate each of the fields with a space or a tab. If either the <path> or the <label> fields contains spaces or tabs, enclose the field in quotes.
You can use environment variables in the <path> or <label> fields. You delimit these with a dollar sign ($). To use a literal $, escape it with another $.
The following is an example configuration file.
[CDM] $HOME$ fixed "My Home" /tmp/$USER$ fixed Temp "/mnt/win/My Documents" fixed "My Local Documents" [/CDM]
