(3) Select Site is optional as you could leave it using "all", but for multisite deployment, choosing the correct site is recommended based on the application location.
(4) Access URL will automatically created based on Name, but it's customizable.
(5) Toggle Visible is enabled by default. If disabled, then the app will not appear in the user portal.

(7) Make sure to choose the RDP protocol.
(8) In the Connection Method, choose how you want the server to be accessed whether via the user portal (Allow Web Access) or via the RDP client (Allow Native Access).

(9) Portby default use 3389 for RDP but it is customizable.

(10) If you want to publish some applications and not the whole server, go to the Initial program field to specify the names of the remote applications. The remote app format should be, for example, “app1, app2, app3” (with spaces), e.g., paint, wordpad.

If the Initial program is left empty, the RDP file is downloaded automatically with access to all applications in the remote machine.

If the Initial program has 1 application (e.g., “wordpad”) the RDP file will be automatically downloaded with the name of the application in the file extension (e.g., RDP_wordpad).

If the Initial program field has 2 (or more) applications (e.g., “wordpad,” “paint”), there is no automatic download. Instead, users will see a screen that offers them both applications as icons to chose from

(11) Single Sign-On Settings is optional and can only be used with the user portal, you can leave it as None (no SSO), or set it to Basic with the options below:

  • User logon credentials, can be used if the user's credential for the user portal is registered as the server's credential.
  • Prompt user and store in personal vault, it will only ask for the password the first time the user login and then the credential will be saved in the user's Personal Vault.
  • Assign secret from vault, can be used after you store a password in the Vault system.

(12) Category is optional, it is just to make a more organized application type tag which by default will use the uncategorized tag. For more information please find here
