Application Launch properties (array-wide)

Attributes on the Application Launch Properties panel of Array Manager control the user experience when clicking links to applications on webtops. The attributes apply to all array members.

From the command line, use tarantella config to view and edit these settings.

Changes to these attributes take effect immediately.

Array ManagerCommand lineDescription
Save Tarantella login details in cache--launch-savettapassword 1 | 0
  • Whether to save in the password cache the username and password the user types to log in to Tarantella.
  • If you are using the SecurID login authority, this setting must always be disabled. This is because SecurID passwords cannot be re-used.
Try Tarantella password if cached--launch-trycachedpassword 1 | 0
  • Whether to try the password the user typed for the Tarantella server (if it's stored in the password cache) as the password for the application server.
  • Tarantella server passwords might be stored in the cache if some applications are configured to run on the Tarantella host, or if Save Tarantella Login Details In Cache is checked.
  • This setting may be overridden by a host object's Authentication attribute.
"Save Password" box--launch-savepassword-display user | system | none

--launch-savepassword-initial checked | cleared

--launch-savepassword-state enabled | disabled

Three attributes which control the behavior of the application server's authentication dialog.

The top setting controls when the authentication dialog displays. This is either:

  • If the user holds down the SHIFT key when they click an application's link or if there is a password problem (user);
  • Only when there is a password problem (system); or
  • Never show the dialog (none).

The other settings control the initial state of the Save password box in the authentication dialog and whether users can change it:

  • If users can't change the setting, the initial state determines whether users may save passwords in the application server password cache.
  • If you don't allow users to check and clear the box, the initial setting determines whether passwords are cached or not.
If Password Has Expired--launch-expiredpassword manual | dialog | none
  • The action to take if the user's password has expired on the application server. Some types of application server do not support the Prompt User (dialog) setting.
Launch Details--launch-details-initial shown | hidden

--launch-details-state enabled | disabled

  • Two attributes concerning the application launch dialog's Launch Details area:
    • Whether to show or hide the information when the dialog appears.
    • Whether users are allowed to show and hide the information.
If Launch Fails--launch-details-showonerror 1 | 0
  • Whether to show the launch details area if an application launch fails.
Launch Dialog--launch-showdialogafter seconds
  • The delay in seconds before showing the application launch dialog to users.
