Cookie name | Description | Required | Values |
---|---|---|---|
session_id | Contains the authentication token of the user | Required |
The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API. Note that this session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API.

Code | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|
401 | Unauthenticated | The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved. |
401 | AuthenticationFailure | Authenticating the user with the given credentials has failed. |
404 | NotFound | The requested object does not exist. |
Connection policies determine if a server can be accessed from a particular client. Connection policies reference other resources (policies, usergroups, keys) that must be configured and available before creating a connection policy.
|
Caution:
The connection policies of this protocol are available in READ-ONLY mode on the REST API. Also, the returned data is incomplete, it does not include any protocol-specific settings, only the parameters that are common to every supported protocol. To modify the connection policies of this protocol, you must use the SPS web interface. Using the REST API, you can modify the connection policies of the RDP and SSH protocols. |

The available ICA channel types and their functionalities are described below.
Channel | Special options | Description |
---|---|---|
CTXTW | Yes |
Drawing (Thinwire): Enables access to the server's desktop (screen). This channel is for remoting graphics and user input (keyboard, mouse). This channel must be enabled for ICA to work. Channel-specific actions:
For example: "actions": { "audit": true, "four_eyes": true, "content_policy": { "key": "433849548566ab327522e6" "meta": { "href": "/api/configuration/policies/content_policies/44287216854f482e7f2b24" } }, } |
CTXCAM | None | Audio Mapping: Enable access to the sound device of the server. |
CTXCDM | None | Drive Mapping: Enable access to the client's hard drives on the server. |
CTXCLIP | None | Clipboard: Enable access to the server's clipboard: the clipboard of the remote desktop can be pasted into local applications (and vice-versa). Note that SPS can audit the clipboard channel, but the Safeguard Desktop Player cannot search or display its contents. |
CTXSCRD | None | Smartcard: Enable using client side installed smartcards in server-side applications. |
CTXCOM1 | None | Printer (COM1): Enable access to the serial port COM1. |
CTXCOM2 | None | Printer (COM2): Enable access to the serial port COM2. |
CTXLPT1 | None | Printer (LPT1): Enable access to the parallel port LPT1. |
CTXLPT2 | None | Printer (LPT2): Enable access to the parallel port LPT2. |
CTXCPM | None | Printer Spooler: Enable access to the client's printer from the remote desktops and applications. |
CTXFLSH | None | HDX Mediastream: Some user widgets (for example Flash player) will not run on the server but on the client. These widgets are controlled from the server side using this channel. This is not supported by Safeguard Desktop Player and it is disabled by default. |
CTXUSB | None | USB: Enable using client side installed USB devices in server-side applications. |
CTXTWI | None | Seamless:Enable seamless channels that run a single application on the ICA server, instead of accessing the entire desktop. When disabled, the application window will be accessed along with an empty desktop. |
SPDBRS | None | Speedbrowse: Speeds up web browsing. Not currently supported by Safeguard Desktop Player, should be disabled by default. |
custom | Yes |
Custom: Applications can open custom channels to the clients connecting remotely to the server. Enabling the Custom channel allows the clients to access all of these custom channels. To permit only specific channels, configure the channels field. Channel-specific access control rules:

The following is a sample response received when listing global ICA options.
For details of the meta object, see Message format.

Element | Type | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
key | Top level item | Contains the ID of the endpoint. | ||
body | Top level item | Contains the elements of the global ICA options. | ||
audit | Top level item | Contains settings for timestamping and cleanup. | ||
service | Top level item | Global setting to enable ICA connections, and specify the logging detail. | ||

log_level | int | Defines the logging detail of ICA connections. |
Set SPS as the timestamping server:
{ "audit": { "cleanup": { "enabled": false }, "timestamping": { "selection": "local", "signing_interval": 30 } }, "service": { "enabled": true, "log_level": 4 } }
Enable cleanup, and set it to occur every 10 days:
{ "audit": { "cleanup": { "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10, "enabled": true }, "timestamping": { "selection": "local", "signing_interval": 30 } }, "service": { "enabled": true, "log_level": 4 } }
Change timestamping to a remote server, without specifying a timestamping policy:
{ "audit": { "cleanup": { "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10, "enabled": true }, "timestamping": { "oid": { "enabled": false }, "selection": "remote", "server_url": "<url-of-timestamping-server>", "signing_interval": 30 } }, "service": { "enabled": true, "log_level": 4 } }
Change timestamping to a remote server, and specify the 1.2.3 timestamping policy:
{ "audit": { "cleanup": { "channel_database_cleanup_days": 10, "enabled": true }, "timestamping": { "oid": { "enabled": true, "policy_oid": "1.2.3" }, "selection": "remote", "server_url": "<url-of-timestamping-server>", "signing_interval": 30 } }, "service": { "enabled": true, "log_level": 4 } }
To modify global ICA settings, you have to:
For details, see Open a transaction.
PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/ica/options endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element . The elements of the audit item are described in Elements of audit.
