APPX Desktop Client Encryption

Line: 30 to 30
 The SSLMode preference is used to identify the type of connection that the APPX Desktop Client should attempt to establis - either SSL or "clear text". Depending on the value specified for SSLMode, the other SSL preferences may not always be relevant.

  1. Required - This option is used to "Require" that the APPX Desktop Client establish an SSL connection with the APPX Login Manager on the APPX Server. In the event that the APPX Login Manager is an older version that does not support SSL connections or if the APPX Login Manager is not configured to allow SSL connections, the client will display an error dialog informing the user that an SSL connection with the requested APPX server is not available. The value of SSLMismatchAllowed will determine if the user is provided with an option to continue with a "clear text" connection.

  1. Optional - This option is similar to the Required option. However, in the event that the APPX Server does not support or is not configured to support an SSL connection, the client will automatically establish a "clear text" connection without notifying the user. The SSLMismatchAllowed preference is not relevant when this option is specified.
  2. Disabled - This option is used to "Disable" the APPX Desktop Client's ability to establish an SSL connection. In other words, this option is used to "require" that the APPX Desktop Client establish a "clear text" connection with the APPX Login Manager on the APPX Server. In the event that the APPX Login Manager is not configured to allow a "clear text" connection, the client will display an error dialog informing the user that a "clear text" connection with the requested APPX Server is not allowed. The value of SSLMismatchAllowed will determine if the user if provided with an option to continue with an SSL connection.

The SSLMismatchAllowed preference is not relevant when this option is specified. Note that not all pre 5.0 servers support this option. If you have trouble connecting and you are connecting to a pre 5.0 sever, you should use the 'Disabled' option below. Most pre 5.0 Windows servers (appxdsvc) do not support this option.

You may also have to use this option when connecting with pre 5.0 servers if the client hangs when attempting the connection.
 

SSLAnonAllowed

This preference determines whether or not the APPX Desktop Client is allowed to connect to an APPX Server that does not have an SSL certificate signed by a trusted authority such as Verisign or Thawte.
