Editing a Policy

Scenario

This section describes how to edit an existing policy.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Workspace console.
  2. Choose Policies > Protocol Policy.

    The Protocol Policy page is displayed.

  3. Perform operations as required.

    • The default policy is a preset general policy and its priority cannot be changed.
    • When you create multiple policies, the default policy has the lowest priority.
    • Adjust the policy priority. Click in the priority column, adjust the priority to a proper level, and click OK.
    • Click in the Policy Name column to change the policy name.
    • Click View Objects in the Policy Object column to view the target object. You can also click Modify to modify the target object.
    • To modify a policy object, choose More > Modify Policy Object.
    • To modify the description, choose More > Modify Description.
    • To delete a manually created policy, choose More > Delete.
    • To modify a policy, perform 4 to 7.

  4. In the row containing the target policy, click Modify Policy Item in the Operation column.

    The page for general policy configuration is displayed.

  5. On the page displayed, enable or disable the corresponding policy. Table 1 Policy management describes the policy.

    • indicates that the policy is enabled.
    • indicates that the policy is disabled.

      Type

      Parameter

      Policy

      USB Port Redirection

      Graphics Device (such as scanners)

      Supports USB peripherals on Workspace. Users can use devices in VMs through USB port redirection.

      Video Device (such as cameras)

      Print Device (such as printer)

      Storage Device (such as USB flash drives)

      Smart Card (such as Ukey)

      File Redirection

      Client Fixed Driver

      • Read-only: Files in drivers and storage devices can only be pre-viewed.
      • Read/Write: Files in drivers and storage devices can be modified.

      Supports drivers on Workspace. Users can use drivers in VMs through file redirection.

      Client Removable Driver

      Client Disc Driver

      Client Network Driver

      Clipboard Redirection

      Bidirectional

      After this function is enabled, end users can copy data on cloud desktops and paste the data on local desktops, or copy data on local desktops and paste the data on cloud desktops.

      Server to Client

      After this function is enabled, end users can only copy data on cloud desktops and paste the data on local desktops.

      Client to Server

      After this function is enabled, end users can only copy data on local desktops and paste the data on cloud desktops.

      NOTE:

      Files can be copied only from a Windows client to a server, and file redirection and the corresponding driver must be enabled.

      Printer Redirection

      -

      VM end users can use printers connected to devices through printer redirection (a policy of device redirection).

      Rendering acceleration

      NOTE:

      This option only applies to video editing scenarios.

      Image Quality

      The display quality is excellent and the bandwidth usage is high. The bandwidth is 25 Mbit/s.

      The parameter details cannot be edited by default.

      Smoothness

      The display quality and bandwidth usage are balanced. The bandwidth is 20 Mbit/s.

      The parameter details cannot be edited by default.

      Level 1

      NOTE:

      The HDP Plus parameter can be customized for adaptation.

      The bandwidth (kbit/s) ranges from 256 to 25,000.

      NOTE:

      This parameter specifies the limit of the display stream data. Increasing the value of this parameter improves user experience but consumes more network bandwidth. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, increasing the value of this parameter will decrease the smoothness. In this case, you are advised to use the default value.

      Display Frame Rate (FPS): 1–60

      NOTE:

      This parameter specifies the display frame rate when no video is played. Increasing the value improves display smoothness but consumes more bandwidth resources. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, increasing the value of this parameter will decrease the smoothness. In this case, you are advised to use the default value.

      Video Frame Rate (FPS): 1–60

      NOTE:

      This parameter specifies the frame rate of video display. Increasing the value improves display smoothness but consumes more bandwidth resources. If the network bandwidth is insufficient, increasing the value of this parameter will decrease the smoothness. In this case, you are advised to use the default value.

      Lossy Compression Recognition Threshold: 0–255

      NOTE:

      This parameter is used to adjust static image quality. A smaller value indicates higher quality but higher bandwidth usage and lower smoothness.

      Lossy Compression Quality: 20–100

      NOTE:

      This parameter is used to adjust static natural image quality. A larger value indicates higher quality but higher bandwidth usage and lower smoothness.

  6. Edit an advanced policy.

    1. On the General policy configuration page, click Advanced Policy.

      The Advanced Policy page is displayed.

    2. Configure an advanced policy as required, as shown in Figure 1. For details about the advanced policy parameters, see Configuring Advanced Policy Parameters.

  7. Click OK to save the configured policy information.

    An end user must log in to the desktop again for the new policy to take effect.
