Dialog | Description
| The Vista Sessions dialog is used to establish an encrypted tunnel session to a service hosted on the {SITENAME} platform. This tunnel operates over an SSH channel to ensure maximum security. Unlike Workspaces, which can be accessed from any modern web browser, Vista Sessions requires a client software called Vista Connect, available for download at: {MASTER}#downloads. For more information about Vista Connect, please refer to the document Vista Connect.
Name field | Specifies the name for the session, which can be anything.
Access Gate field | Lists the available Access Gates that can be used to establish the encrypted session tunnel.
Identity field | Displays the available identities from which you can select a single user to be granted access to this session.
Protocol field | Displays the available protocols for a Vista Session, which include: HTTP, HTTPS The Vista Connect client will launch a web browser and navigate to the specified instance and port.

Ingenia LLM The Vista Connect client will launch a Ingenia Chat session to the specified instance and port. SPICE The Vista Connect client will launch a SPICE session to the specified instance and port. Chrome VNC, XVNC The Vista Connect client will launch a VNC session to the specified instance and port. CUSTOM The Vista Connect client will only inform the user of the accessible port after the session has been created to the specified instance and port. VISTA POOL - RDP This setup uses the RDP protocol for Instances-xvm templates, where a linked clone is automatically created and assigned to the user. The Vista Connect client then initiates an RDP session to the cloned instance and its designated port. VISTA POOL - SPICE This setup uses the SPICE protocol for Instances-xvm templates, where a linked clone is automatically created and assigned to the user. The Vista Connect client then initiates an SPICE session to the cloned instance and its designated port. VISTA POOL - XVNC This setup uses the VNC protocol for Instances-xvm templates, where a linked clone is automatically created and assigned to the user. The Vista Connect client then initiates an VNC session to the cloned instance and its designated port.
