Confirming Xstart Login Information Before Connecting

With Xstart, you can configure a prompt to be displayed before a connection is established to the application host. You set up the Connection Parameters dialog box to display the host, user ID, and commands, or you can configure it to request any or all of these parameters, including the user's password, which is useful if you intend to distribute the Xstart file (.xs) to multiple users.

You configure the Connection Parameters prompt using the Local Prompts options on the Startup page of the Xstart Settings dialog box as described below.

To access Xstart Startup settings:

  1. In the Exceed onDemand Client dialog box, provide the information required to log into the Exceed Connection Server machine.
  2. Click the Xstart Edit button (...). Xstart Manager opens.
  3. Select the Xstart file you want to modify, and click Modify. The Xstart dialog box opens.
  4. Click Settings. The Xstart Settings dialog box opens with the Startup page in view.
  5. In the Local Prompts area, select an option (Hide, Show Only, or Ask User) for each login parameter. If you select the Show Only or Ask User options, each time you start an X session, the Connection Parameters dialog box displays the connection information specified in the Xstart file. Depending on the option selected, you are prompted to confirm or modify this information.
  6. Save the changes.
