17.4. Client ID Differences Between Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients and Sun Ray Clients

If you have existing scripts using the Sun Ray Software commands, or you plan to create scripts, you must be aware of the client ID differences between Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients and Sun Ray Clients.

All clients are represented in the Sun Ray Software administration tools by a client ID, also called CID, terminal CID, or client identifier. A client ID has both a full ID and a short ID version:

The namespace value is a tag that determines the format of the id-part value. Short client IDs are usually used and accepted because the current namespaces, one for Sun Ray Clients and one for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients, use different id-part formats. The full client ID is used to help distinguish between these different types of clients more easily.

See Table 17.1, “Oracle Virtual Desktop Client ID Details” for the details of the client ID.

Note

The client key is part of an Oracle Virtual Desktop Client profile, so every Oracle Virtual Desktop Client profile has its own client ID.

See Table 17.2, “Example Sun Ray Client IDs” and Table 17.3, “Example Oracle Virtual Desktop Client IDs” for examples of client IDs.
