How to set 'view-only' mode in session shadowing and desktop sharing in NX 3.5.0


By default, the server allows the attaching to either a master or a native session in interactive mode.

In order to enable the view-only mode, you have to set the following keys in the server.cfg:

 EnableInteractiveSessionShadowing = "0"
 EnableInteractiveDesktopSharing = "0"

There is no need to restart the NX server to make changes made to the configuration files effective. The new configuration will be applied to all new sessions opened. Sessions that are already running at the time of the config file change will keep their configuration.

If you enable the view-only mode for shadow sessions, this mode is applied to all users who run shadow sessions.

If you need to have only some users able to run interactive shadow sessions, you can create a personal server configuration file for each of those users named as:

username.server.cfg

where username is the username of the user who is trying to run the shadow session.
