•Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support. SSL provides server authentication, encryption of the data stream, and message integrity checks. See “Integrating the Client with the Secure Gateway or SSL Relay” on page 59.

•Transport Layer Security encryption. As an alternative to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0, the client also supports Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0. See “Configuring SSL/TLS” on page 60.

•NDS support. When users launch the client, they can log on and be authenticated using their Novell Directory Services (NDS) credentials. Supported NDS credentials are user name (or distinguished name), password, directory tree, and context.

•Encryption. The client supports different levels of encryption, including RSA RC5 encryption.

Mapping Features

•Client device mapping. The client supports client device and COM port mapping to allow you to access devices attached to the client computer during an ICA session. See “Mapping Client Devices” on page 28 and “Mapping Client COM Ports” on page 30.

•Client drive mapping. Client drive mapping allows you to access the local disk drives of the client computer during an ICA session. See “Mapping Client Drives” on page 28.

•Client audio mapping. Client audio mapping allows the client computer to play sounds generated by applications running on the server. See “Mapping Client Audio” on page 31.

Performance Improvement Features

•SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration. SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration, available to users running Internet Explorer 5.5 or later within a session, increases the rate at which images are downloaded and displayed. SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration must be enabled on the server to be available to the client—it does not work when running Internet Explorer locally. When enabled, SpeedScreen Browser Acceleration operates automatically; you do not need to configure the client.

•Disk caching. Disk caching stores locally those graphics that are used regularly, such as icons, fonts, and bitmaps. This avoids retransmitting data. See “Caching Images” on page 51.

•Data compression. Data compression reduces the amount of data sent over the communications link to the server. See “Compressing Data” on page 51.
