  • Seamless Application Windows

    The seamless window mode is activated. The application windows can be moved freely over the desktop. The look and feel, e. g. the title bar, is generated by the operating system on the server. This feature is available starting with IGEL Linux v5.13.100.

    The application windows are positioned within the session window; the look and feel is generated by the local system (thin client).

    The connection to the desktop or application will be established automatically when the session starts. For this to be possible, the name of the desktop or application must be defined.

    The overview will be shown when the session starts.

  • Preferred desktop protocol: The selected option is preferred by the client when negotiating the connection protocol.
  • Enable kiosk mode

    The session will be held in kiosk mode.

    Further settings can be found under AD/Kerberos Configuration and AD/Kerberos.
