The Native RDP Client Connections feature in Propalms TSE enables you to run server-based applications without having to install any additional client software (besides the native Microsoft RDP client) on the client device.

Launching a server-based TSE application via a Native RDP Client Connection provides several key benefits:

1. Support for RDP for Mac OS feature set

2. Publishing of applications to web-based interface (TSE Launchpad)

3. Resource-based load-balancing for the native RDP session

4. No additional installation of a vendor-specific client component.

 

As there is no TSE client software piece running, with Native client some TSE centric features are not available:-

1. Seamless windows

2. SPR Support

3. File Associations

4. Desktop and Start menu Shortcuts

TSE MAC and Linux client are extensions of the Native client, so limitations of

Native client also apply to MAC and Linux client.
