Client Settings

The Client section allows you to specify application launch methods and other HTML5 Client settings.

Launch sessions using: When a user tries to open a resource from the HTML5 Client web page, the resource can open right in the web browser or it can be launched in a platform-specific Parallels Client installed on the user's computer (e.g. Parallels Client for Windows). This option specifies which client will be used. Compared to HTML5 Client, platform-specific Parallels Client includes a richer set of features and provides end users with a better overall user experience. Select one of the following:

• Launch apps in browser only (HTML5 only) — Users can run remote applications and desktops using Parallels HTML5 Client only. Use this option if you don't want your users to install a platform-specific Parallels Client.
• Launch apps with Parallels Client — Users can run remote applications and desktops in Parallels Client only. When a user connects to Parallels RAS using Parallels HTML5 Client, they will be asked to install the platform-specific Parallels Client before they can launch remote applications and desktops. A message will be displayed to the user with a link for downloading the Parallels Client installer. After the user installs Parallels Client, they can still select a remote application or desktop in Parallels HTML5 Client but it will open in Parallels Client instead.
• Launch apps with Parallels Client & fallback to HTML5 — Both Parallels Client and a browser (HTML5) can be used to launch remote applications and desktops. Parallels Client will be the primary method; Parallels HTML5 Client will be used as a backup method if a published resource cannot be launched in Parallels Client for any reason. A user will be informed if a resource couldn't be opened in Parallels Client and will be given a choice to open it in the browser instead.

Allow users to select a launch method: If selected, users will be able to choose whether to open remote applications in a browser or in Parallels Client. You can enable this option only if the Launch session using option (above) is set to Launch apps in Parallels Client and fallback to HTML5 (i.e. both methods are allowed).

Allow opening applications in a new tab: If selected, a user will be able to open remote applications in a new tab in his/her web browser.

Use Pre Windows 2000 login format: If this option is selected, it allows you to use legacy (pre-Windows 2000) login format.
