## Remote Session Settings The Settings tab in the Connection category allows you to configure the following remote session options: Declare remote session idle after: This option affects reporting statistics, whereby a session is declared idle after the amount of time specified without any activity. Automatically logoff RAS idle session after: Specifies the time period after which an idle session (a user RAS connection) should be logged off. Once the session is logged off, the user is disconnected from Parallels RAS and is presented with the Connections dialog in Parallels Client as a way to notify them that they were logged off. They can use the dialog to log back on if desired. Cached Session Timeout: Specify the amount of time that a session is cached for (higher amount of time reduces AD transactions). Clear cached session IDs: Clears all cached session information. FIPS 140-2 encryption The FIPS 140-2 encryption property allows you to specify whether FIPS-encrypted connections are allowed or even enforced on RAS Secure Client Gateways. When you allow (or enforce) the encryption, the Gateways will use the FIPS 140-2 encryption module. You can choose from the following options: Disabled. FIPS 140-2 encryption is disabled on RAS Secure Client Gateways. Allowed. RAS Secure Client Gateways accept both FIPS-encrypted and non-FIPS-encrypted connections. Enforced. RAS Secure Client Gateways accept FIPS-encrypted connections and will drop any non-FIPS-encrypted connection. Note: For FIPS 140-2 encryption to work, a FIPS compliant certificate must be installed on each RAS Secure Client Gateway. When you enable FIPS 140-2 encryption, the encryption status is displayed on the Information / Site Information tab in the RAS Console. Look for the Encryption property of a RAS Secure Client Gateway. The following versions of Parallels Client support FIPS 140-2 encryption: Parallels Client for Windows 64-bit Parallels Client for Linux 64-bit Please note that HALB is not supported when using a FIPS-encrypted connection. By default, the values on the Settings tab are replicated to all sites in a Parallels RAS Farm (the Replicate settings option in the lower right corner is enabled). If you would like to have these settings defined differently for different sites, clear the Replicate settings option in all sites and then set the options for each Site individually.
