ICA Connection Configuration

Type

Default: Server

This specifies whether the ICA connection is to connect to a server or to a published application.

Server

Depending on the Type setting, this enables you to specify the name or IP address of the server, or the name of the published application. A list of available servers or publications may be displayed for you to select from, or you can type in the details.

Protocol

Default: TCP/IP

This setting determines the way server browsing is performed. TCP/ IP is preferred for MetaFrame 1.8 and older. TCP/IP + HTTP server location is preferred for Metaframe XP.

Selecting Use Default will use the protocol setting determined by the Protocol option in the ICA general settings dialog.

If the Server field did not provide a listing of available servers or published applications, and you are using MetaFrame with browsing enabled, you will need to set the network protocol to TCP/IP instead of TCP/IP + HTTP server location.

Select SSL/TLS + HTTPS server location when using the ICA client over the Internet or through a firewall or proxy server. The client will use the HTTPS protocol to search for a list of MetaFrame XP Presentation Servers. The client communicates with the MetaFrame XP Presentation Server using ICA with SSL/TLS. SSL/TLS + HTTPS provides strong encryption of ICA traffic and MetaFrame XP Presentation Server authentication.

Username, Password & Domain

Entering a Username or Password here will enable the user to access the connection without having to enter login details. If you work within a domain, the Domain field enables you to specify the domain name.
