3.3 Documentation Issues in Release 4.71

This section lists the known documentation issues for the 4.71 release.

3.3.1 Legacy VDI Broker Documentation Issue

The Legacy VDI Broker is a virtual services broker that enables SGD to request a desktop from a local Oracle VDI 3.2 installation.

Because the SGD 4.71 release does not support Oracle VDI version 3.2, the description and configuration procedures for the Legacy VDI broker that are included in the published documentation are not applicable for this release of SGD.

3.3.2 Secure Mode Installation and Firewall Forwarding

The published documentation does not clearly state that in a secure mode installation, firewall forwarding is disabled for the SGD server.

The note in "Installing the Main SGD Component" in the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Installation Guide should read as follows:

"When you install in secure mode, the installation program uses the tarantella security enable command to configure and enable secure connections automatically. Firewall forwarding is disabled, so the SGD server can be used with the SGD Gateway.

See the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide for more information about using this command to install an SSL certificate and enable secure connections, or to enable firewall forwarding for an SGD server."

3.3.3 Incorrect Windows Registry Key Path for Enhancement Module

In the "Windows Applications Do Not Close Down" topic in the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide, the stated path for the Windows registry key is incorrect.

The correct path is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oracle\Enhancement Module for Windows

On 64-bit Windows platforms, the path is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Oracle\Enhancement Module for Windows

3.3.4 Compatibility Checking Web Services Option for SGD Client

The following SGD Client command-line argument is missing from the Web Services Developer Options table in the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide.

Argument

Description

-compat-checked

When starting the SGD Client, do not check that the SGD Client and SGD server versions are compatible.

3.3.5 Changes to Java Plug-in Software Security Warnings

The "Browser and Java Plug-in Software Security Warnings" section in Chapter 1 of the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide does not include information about how the default Java Security Level for some versions of Java Plug-in Software may affect when security warnings are shown.

The information in this section should read as follows:

"If Java technology is enabled in the browser, the Java Plug-in software might also warn users about the web server's SSL certificate. This depends on the configuration in the Java Control Panel. Note that for some versions of Java Plug-in Software, the default Java Security Level configuration means that security warnings are always displayed when untrusted certificates are used."

3.3.6 Incorrect Path for Administration Console Web Application

The "Administration Console Configuration Settings" section in Chapter 7 of the Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide gives an incorrect path for the deployment descriptor used by the Administration Console web application.

The path for the deployment descriptor file should read as follows:

/opt/tarantella/webserver/tomcat/tomcat-version/webapps/sgdadmin/WEB-INF/web.xml

3.3.7 Incorrect URL to CUPS Documentation

The Oracle Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide contains an incorrect link to the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS) documentation.

See the CUPS web site for the latest CUPS documentation.
