See "Using encryption to protect data" on page 204. 8 Check Cancel thin host after the remote session ends to cancel the host after the remote control session ends. If you do not cancel the host after the session ends, the host continues to run until the operating system restarts. 9 Check Prompt to confirm connection, and then select the number of seconds in which the host user has to respond to the prompt. If the timeout period expires, the connection is canceled. 10 To protect the host by serializing connections, check Assign serial ID to limit host connections, and then type the serial number that you want to use. This embeds a serial ID in the host configuration. Serial IDs must be a numeric value between 0 and 4,294,967,296. Remote users must have the same serial ID embedded in their remote configuration for the host to accept the connection.
