Webtop session session
  • The application keeps running and is resumable until the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop.
  • If a user does not log out of Secure Global Desktop cleanly, for example, if they close their web browser or terminate the Secure Global Desktop Client without logging out, then applications that are webtop session resumable keep running for a time (see Resumable For).

Always always
  • The application keeps running for a time (see Resumable For) after the user logs out of Secure Global Desktop, and can be resumed when they next log in.

Users can see if an application is resumable or not by pointing to its link on the webtop and looking at the popup window that displays.

The browser-based web webtop has controls for suspending and resuming individual application sessions. If you are using the Secure Global Desktop Client in Integrated mode, applications that are always resumable are automatically suspended when you log out. When you log in again, they are are automatically resumed.
