Configuring Reflection for the Web Sessions

The configuration of a web-based terminal emulation session involves both the Reflection for the Web applet and the host session.

When you create a session, you determine its configuration settings using applet defaults, applet parameters, host system defaults, and a configuration file. (The applet parameters and configuration file are optional.) Users can then create their own user preference files to change some elements of the default configuration. The degree to which users can save their own configurations is itself part of the session configuration.

The easiest way to create a terminal session is by using Manage Sessions in the MSS Administrative Console. The default choices for a given host session type are provided.

Some configuration settings can be controlled only by Reflection for the Web applet parameters:

• Applet name (nameattribute)

• Shortcut menu access (shortcutMenu parameter)

• Window title (title parameter)

These applet settings remain in effect each time a new configuration file is opened or saved.

In other cases, the same configuration element can be set using applet parameters, a configuration file, or user preferences. The load order of the information determines the final configuration.
