Connection

• Auto login: Enable or disable auto login in User Portal. If this option is on, and the user credentials have been saved before, the user will not have to enter them again. This option may not be available if a Client Policy was applied where this option is turned off. Note that the auto login option is supported on the latest Chromium-based browsers, such as Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. For more information, please see Auto login.

• Connection timeout: Specify the connection timeout (seconds).

• MFA - Remember last method used: If using multi-factor authentication, enable this option so the last method used is remembered and used by default.

• Always ask for credentials when starting application: If this option is enabled, a user will be asked to enter credentials when starting an application even if the session is still active. You can use this option as added security to prevent unauthorized users to access applications. For example, if a user disconnects from a session, no one else will be able to take over the session and run remote applications. As another example, if a user leaves a device with an open User Portal displaying the app listing (with or without running RDP sessions) then any user who tries to open a new application or another instance of a running application will be prompted for credentials. Please note that the Auto login option (described above) must be disabled for this functionality to work; otherwise saved credentials will be used automatically.

• Launch items in: Select if you want to launch applications in User Portal or a system-specific Parallels Client.

Display

• Enable multiple displays: If this option is enabled, you can use User Portal on two displays and change their order.

• Position displays: Specify if you want to position displays horizontally or vertically.

• DPI aware: Enables the DPI awareness mode. If this option is enabled, User Portal will display higher-resolution graphics.
