On exiting X Manager
Determines how X Manager handles running sessions with one or more clients running when closing X Manager (standalone) or when logging off X Manager for Domains.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Prompt | The user is prompted to decide how to handle running sessions: |
| Stop the session | |
| Leave the session running | |
| Cancel the operation to close X Manager | |
| Stop all sessions | X Manager closes running sessions when closing or logging off. If you are using the standalone X Manager, this setting stops all running sessions. If you are using X Manager for Domains and you have configured sessions that support session suspension, any sessions you leave before you close the window will continue to run. |
| Leave sessions if possible | (X Manager for Domains only). The session continues to run if a session definition's Remote session services is set to one of the following (any suspend/resume option other than None): |
| Session suspend/resume | |
| Session suspend/resume, High-latency network performance | |
| Session suspend/resume, High-latency network performance, Network fault tolerance | |
| If a session is not set to any of the previous settings, the session closes when X Manager is closed. |
On closing session window
Determines how X Manager handles closing a session configured to Show clients on X terminal desktop when one or more clients are running.
| Prompt | The user is prompted to decide how to handle running sessions: |
| Stop the session | |
| Leave the session running | |
| Cancel the operation to close the session window | |
| Stop session | X Manager closes the session when the session window is closed. |
| Leave sessions if possible | (X Manager for Domains only) |
| The session continues to run if a session definition's Remote session services is set to one of the following (any suspend/resume option other than None): | |
| Session suspend/resume | |
| Session suspend/resume, High-latency network performance | |
| Session suspend/resume, High-latency network performance, Network fault tolerance | |
| If Remote session services is set to None, the session closes when the session window is closed. |
When displaying Help
By default, help content is provided from the web. If you want help calls to go to locally installed files instead, download and run the optional local help installer, and change this setting to Use installed help system.
If either local or web help is not available, Reflection X will automatically attempt to use the other option.
Security
FIPS mode
(standalone X Manager) Enforces the United States government Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 for this connection. When FIPS mode is selected, all available settings use security protocols and algorithms that meet this standard. Encryption options that do not meet this standard are not available; only the Secure Shell connection method can be used to start X clients, and XDMCP is not available as a session startup option.
Each time you change the FIPS mode setting, you must restart X Manager or X Manager for Domains.
FIPS mode is not available if Reflection X is using a non-default JRE that is not configured for unlimited strength cryptography.
A standalone X Manager can share sessions with other standalone X Managers running in the same mode. Thus FIPS X Managers are able to share only with other FIPS X Managers and non-FIPS X Managers are able to share only with other non-FIPS X Managers.
note
For X Manager for Domains, FIPS mode is configured in the Administrative Console’s Domain Composition tab.
Disconnect SSH session automatically when token is removed
When selected, the connection is active only while the token is present. (The setting is selected by default.)
