Xangati requires you to Enable unencrypted traffic to allow HTTP access. winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted="true"} They say "Despite using HTTP as the protocol, Xangati software uses a secure authentication scheme (Kerberos) for logging into the server. This means that the user's credentials are not sent in the clear." Thoughts? You don’t see any security issues with “WinRM to Use HTTP”?

Xangati requires you to Enable unencrypted traffic to allow HTTP access.
winrm set winrm/config/service @{AllowUnencrypted=”true”}

They say “Despite using HTTP as the protocol, Xangati software uses a secure authentication scheme (Kerberos) for logging into the server. This means that the user’s
credentials are not sent in the clear.”

You mention running the appliance with protection by FT. Is that a supported configuration? I am exploring the option using of atlantis in combination with full clones. Do you have any data on this or have you seen any that you could share? I'm interested in knowing what the space savings would be, how much it speeds up deployment and what the reduction of peak IO is. Thank you! Great write up.

This actually works well. We used a similar setup with XP and Player for a custom app in Linux used by the US Army. Folks would log in to a thick XP client, then log in to an XP View desktop, which automatically ran Player and the Linux app in full screen mode. This was a training environment, but the desktops and app worked just fine. As you note, your physical hardware needs to support it, but it's certainly do-able when one must implement it. Cheers!

I installed the app on a test server and copies some log files into the log folder. Cool, the data shows up and I'm able to view the graphs. Next, I deploy some universal forwarders on virtual desktops and tell it to forward the pcoip_server*.txt files to the pcoip index in the vmware_pcoip sourcetype. Well, the data is not showing up since I created the pcoip index and the app is only looking at the main index. How do I change the default index for the app, so that the data from my desktops shows up? This is a really cool app. I have a question though, and a little background is in order.
