Property

Description

Server Host

Specify the host—the virtual application server or the load balancer in front of a group of virtual application servers that stream the App-V package to the Application Virtualization Client. You can either specify a static host name or IP address, or you can enter %SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER% to indicate an environment variable.

Note:If you enter %SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER%, you must set up the SFT_SOFTGRIDSERVER system environment variable on each Application Virtualization Client. The value of this environment variable should be the name or IP address of the host.

When you assign the variable on a client system, any Application Virtualization Client session that is running on the system must be closed and reopened; otherwise, the session is not aware of the new application source.

Server Port

Specify the port on which the virtual application server or the load balancer listens for Application Virtualization Client requests for the package. The default port is 554.

Server Path

Specify the relative path on the virtual application server where the software package is stored and from which it will be streamed.

Note:This information is required to create a package if the .sft file will be stored in a subdirectory of CONTENT; otherwise, this information is not required.

Server Protocol

Select the protocol that you want to use to stream the sequenced application package from the virtual application server to an Application Virtualization Client. Available options are:

RTSP—The real-time streaming protocol streams the App-V package. This is the default option.
RTSPS—The real-time streaming protocol with transport layer security streams the App-V package.
FILE—The App-V package are streamed from a file share.
HTTP—The hypertext transport protocol streams the App-V package.
HTTPS—The secure hypertext transport protocol streams the App-V package.
