●

ComposedUI

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, support for Vista Aero interface is enabled

(Desktop Composition). This requires RDP6 and is ignored for RDP5 and RGS. Additionally,

various hardware and operating system requirements must be met before the Vista Aero interface

can be shown. Set to 0 to disable. Default is 1.

●

Autosize

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, an RDP session is automatically resized to fit when

its containing window is resized. When set to 0, the window maximum size is that of the remote

session, and when sized down, scroll bars appear. This value is ignored for RGS and rdesktop and

is only valid in a windowed session. Default value is 0.

●

MapClipboard

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, the clipboard will be made available to remote

sessions, and allows limited cut-and-paste functionality from the local machine to the remote

session or vice versa. This option is ignored for with RGS versions prior to 5.2 and with RDP5.

When set to 0, this feature is disabled. Default is 1.

NOTE:

Enabling or disabling the clipboard in the HP SAM Client UI affects all sessions connected

using that client.

The clipboard setting can be forced using HP SAM policy. If the policy is assigned to roles, it is

possible for a user to have several sessions open simultaneously, where some sessions allow copy

and paste and others do not.

●

NetworkAuthentication

—integer value, 0, 1, or 2. When set to 1, the RDP client warns when

connecting to a resource that cannot be authenticated. When set to 2, the RDP client refuses to

connect to an unauthenticated resource. When set to 0, the connection succeeds regardless of the

authentication state. This setting requires RDP6 and is ignored for RDP5 or RGS. Default value is

0.

●

MapDrivesList

—string value, RDP6 only. This field is valid only if

MapDrives

is set to 1. For RDP6,

this allows control over which logical drives are made available to the remote session. The list

corresponds to the RDP6 configuration file format, and it looks as follows:

MapDrivesList=c:;d:;e:;DrivesDynamic

In this example, the drives c:, d:, and e: are made available, along with the drives connected after

the session is established (DrivesDynamic).

●

Span

—integer value, 0 or 1. When set to 1, specify that the session should span over all available

monitors (to the limits of the protocol being used). This setting requires RDP6 or RGS and is ignored

for RDP5. The default value for this option is 0 (session shown on single monitor). Additionally, the

following restrictions apply for RDP6:

◦

Combined monitor resolution can be no greater than 4096x2048 pixels.

◦

All monitors must be at same resolution.

◦

All monitors must be aligned side-by-side.

●

MatchClientDisplays

—integer value, 0 or 1. Setting this parameter to 1 allows RGS to map the

sender displays to the client display devices. RGS sessions must line up with the physical display

boundaries on the client desktop in order to set valid display resolutions on the sender. Use this

feature for multi-display clients on senders that have multiple physical displays. Senders that are

configured to use a single logical display will cause RGS to revert to setting a single display instead

of multiple displays. RGS 5.1.3 or later is required. Default is 0.
