2.1.5 Other session types

Follow these steps to add and configure a session for any of these products:

  •  Reflection or InfoConnect Desktop
  •  Reflection FTP Client
  •  Reflection for Secure IT
  •  Reflection for Windows
  •  Extra! X-treme
  •  InfoConnect
  •  Verastream Host Integrator

  1. On the Manage Sessions panel, click +ADD.

  2. Under Configure Session, select your Product.

  3. Enter a unique Session name that does not exceed 64 characters.

    Session names cannot include any of these characters: \ / : * ? " < > ¦

  4. Open the Comments option to enter a comment about this session. Comments are internal notes for the administrator that can be displayed in the Manage Sessions summary list.

  5. Configure your File Storage preferences.

    • Overwrite setting files

      When selected, Management and Security Server compares the user’s local settings with the web server version of the settings files. When they are different, the local file is overwritten.

      By overwriting existing settings files, you can easily distribute updates; however, the users’ changes will be lost.

    • Save settings files as read-only

      The settings files can be saved as Read-only or Hidden. Users cannot change Read-only settings unless they have permissions to do so.

    • Save settings files as hidden

      Hidden files do not appear in the user's Windows Explorer unless the user configures Windows to show hidden files. You may need to clear Enable Protected Mode in the workstation’s browser settings.

    • For sessions to be launched from an end user's list of links, choose where you want the settings files to be stored on the user’s workstation.

      • My Documents\<product folder>

      • Temp

      • your specified <User profile folder>\

  6. Click LAUNCH to open the session and configure your preferences and other settings.

    • If you see a Launch Application dialog asking to use Zulu Platform x64 Architecture, your client can be configured to use a launcher that does not require the Java browser plug-in.

    See Launch a session without the Java plug-in.

    NOTE: If the LAUNCH button is disabled:

    1. Be sure the product (for the session you want to launch) is activated.

      Open Configure Settings - Product Activation in the Administrative Console.

    2. If your product is not in the list, click ACTIVATE NEW.

    3. Browse to the activation file for the product for which you are creating a session. The file is in this format:

      activation.<product_name>.jaw.

    4. Click the file, and the product is added to the Product list.

    5. Restart your browser to ensure that the Administrative Console is fully updated with the new set of activation files. You do not need to restart the MSS server.

    6. Continue to ADD and then LAUNCH your session.

  7. After you launch and configure your session, click Save (or Exit/Save).

    The settings are exported to Management and Security Server, and the session is added to the Manage Sessions list.

  8. Continue with Assign Access.
