Configuring Personal Desktop

The Personal Desktop feature is primarily aimed at those users who work away from corporate premises to be able to connect back to their office PCs or workstation.

Note: Options that are common to Personal Desktop and Applications are not explained in this article. Links to relevant articles are given where applicable.

Configuration

  1. Navigate to the Integrations > Personal Desktop page.
  1. Enable or disable application - Enable the toggle button.
  1. Define sign-in settings – Under SSO Type, the following options are available:
  • None – Selecting this option requires users to enter desktop credentials each time they connect.
  • Basic – This option has the following three sub-options:
    • User logon credentials - Select this option if the credentials of the desktop are the same as the credentials used to log in to the Application Portal.
    • Prompt user and store in personal vault – When this option is set, the user will be prompted for a username and password when connecting for the first time. The credentials will be stored in the user’s personal vault and automatically used for every subsequent sign-in attempt, so the user will not be prompted for credentials thereafter.
    • Prompt the user and pass-through the credentials –This option prompts the user to provide credentials that are passed to the application but not stored.
      For this article, we select Prompt user and store in personal vault.
