This procedure describes how to enable access for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients either through the utpolicy command or the Admin GUI. By default, access for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients is disabled on a Sun Ray server.

You might also need to configure firewall settings as follows:

Client computers. Ensure that firewall settings on the client computers allow Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients to access the Internet.
Sun Ray servers. See Section 3.1.13, “Ports and Protocols” for information on the ports used by Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients.

Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients can be used to access both smart card sessions and non-smart card sessions. Session mobility, or hotdesking, is supported with or without smart cards.

Note

The following procedures use a warm restart of Sun Ray services. If you disable access for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients, use a cold restart.

Admin GUI Steps

Click the Advanced tab.
Click the Security subtab.
Select the Oracle Virtual Desktop Client option in the Card Users and Non-Card Users sections.
This enables both smart card and non-smart card sessions.
Restart all servers in the server group using the Warm Restart button.

Command Line Steps

View the current policy.
Use the utpolicy command, as follows:
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy
Current Policy:
-a -g -z both -M
```
Note
The -M option enables non-smart card mobile (NSCM) sessions.
Edit the current policy, to enable access for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients.
Do one of the following:
1. To enable both smart card and non-smart card sessions, add the -u both option to your policy options.
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -g -z both -M -u both
```
2. To enable only non-smart card sessions, add the -u pseudo option to your policy options.
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -g -z both -M -u pseudo
```
3. To enable only smart card sessions, add the -u card option to your policy options.
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -a -g -z both -M -u card
```
Restart the Sun Ray services.
```
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utstart
```
After enabling or disabling access for Oracle Virtual Desktop Clients, a restart of Sun Ray services in the server group is required.
