| ICA Client File Security: WEB Client Drive Access And The Webica.ini File Explained |

In particular, the nuances of the security setup for drive access and the ways to modify the Webica.ini file to override or preset certain types of access for your ICA based clients are discussed. By default a WinFrame or MetaFrame server maps client drives and printers from ICA-based clients that support that function. One of these is the Web Client that users download from a Web page when they want to start an ICA-enabled application from their Web site. Because the ICA protocol is trying to establish a connection between client hosts, some people have concerns over the type of client mapping and access being given to the clients local hard drive. In response to these security concerns, we enhanced the original Web Client to have a more dynamic and configurable client drive capability. With these new modifications, you can set the type of client access you want to have at the actual client OS in which you have the browser and ICA Web Client installed. This is done through a Windows pop-up that is generated the first time that client accesses that particular server for that application. Users have a choice of Full Access, Read Access, or No Access, as well as a "Dont notify me again" check box. Read CTX568194 here.
