#### Connection The Connection tab page allows you specify connection properties and logon information. Configuring the Primary Connection The primary connection properties are grayed out because they always default to the primary RAS Secure Client Gateway. The only property that you can specify here is Friendly Name. Configuring a Secondary Connection If you have more than one RAS Secure Client Gateway, you can define a secondary connection, which will be used as a backup connection in case the primary gateway connection fails. To add a secondary connection: Click the Secondary Connections button. In the Secondary Connections dialog, click the Add button and specify a server name or IP address. You can click the [...] button and select a server from the list. If none are available (or if the desired server is not in the list), type the server info in the field provided. Select the connection mode and modify the port number if necessary. Click OK. Back in the Secondary Connections dialog, if you have multiple secondary connections, you can move them up or down in the list. If the primary connection cannot be established, Parallels Client will use secondary connections in the order listed. Click OK. Configuring the Logon Information In the Logon section, specify the following properties: Select the Auto Logon option to enable Parallels Client to connect automatically without displaying the Logon dialog every time a user connects to a remote server. In the Authentication type drop-down list, select the desired method of authentication: Credentials. Select this option and then enter the username, password, and domain information. A client will be authenticated on the remote server using the specified credentials. Single Sign-On. This option will be included in the list only if the Single Sign-On module is installed during Parallels Client installation. Select this option to use local system credentials to connect to the remote server. Smart Card. Select this option to authenticate using a smart card. When connecting to the remote server, a user will need to insert a smart card into the card reader and then enter a PIN when prompted. Note: The allowed authentication type(s) must be specified in the RAS Console in Connection / Authentication.
