Citrix Systems MetaFrame Presentation Server - Manual (Page 27)

Chapter 1 Introduction 27
Auto client reconnect. With the auto client reconnect feature, the Win32 and Java
clients automatically reconnect to a session when they detect a dropped connection
(when network issues occur outside of MetaFrame Presentation Server). Users can
continue to work without reconnecting manually, reentering credentials, and
restarting applications.
Content publishing. This feature lets you publish document files, media files,
URLs, and any other type of file from any network location. Icons for published
content appear in Program Neighborhood, on the desktop, and in the Web Interface.
Users can double-click published content icons to access content in the same way
they access published applications.
Connection control. This feature lets you set a limit on the number of connections
that each user can have simultaneously in the server farm. You can also limit the
number of concurrent connections to specified published applications, and you can
prevent users from launching more than one instance of the same published
application. (Available in Advanced and Enterprise editions.)
CPU prioritization. You can use the CPU prioritization feature to assign each
published application in the server farm a priority level for CPU access. This
feature can ensure that CPU-intensive applications in the server farm do not
degrade performance of other applications. You can give a higher CPU priority to
mission-critical published applications and a lower CPU priority to less-important
applications. (Available in Advanced and Enterprise editions.)
Universal printing. Provides a single universal print driver for all printing needs.
Universal printing eliminates the need to manage and maintain a large number of
print divers while improving server stability and print quality. With universal
printing, you can:
• Set printing preferences for autocreated printers, including paper size and copy
count
• Refresh users’ printer settings each time they log on to an ICA session
• Choose to save or purge the print queue when users log out
• Configure published applications to launch without waiting for all printers to be
created
NDS support. Support for Novell Directory Services allows users in Novell
network environments using their NDS credentials to access published applications
and content.
SSL/TLS support for ICA. This feature enables use of the Secure Socket Layer
(SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols to secure communication
between ICA clients that support SSL/TLS and MetaFrame Presentation Servers.
SSL/TLS provides server authentication, encryption of the data stream, and
message integrity checks. After configuring the Citrix SSL Relay, you can specify
the use of SSL or TLS when publishing applications.
