Application Specific Connection Profile

In zPortal deployment, if any specific connection profile must be used for an application then that can be done by specifying the connection profile for the application.

Application specific connection profile takes priority only when

2. In case of Remote App mode, application specific connection profile will only be used if that application is the first from the specific session host server. If the application is accessed after invoking any other application, applying new connection profile, won’t be possible.

Connection profile for an application can be specified in Additional Settings section of Add or Edit Application wizard.
