摘要:
A method for selecting a method of execution for an application includes the step of receiving credentials. A plurality of applications available to a client machine is enumerated responsive to the received credentials. A request to execute an enumerated application is received. One of a predetermined number of methods for executing the requested application is selected responsive to a policy, the predetermined number of methods including a method for executing the requested application in a computing environment provided by a virtual machine.
摘要:
A method for providing authorized remote access to a computing environment provided by a virtual machine, includes the step of requesting, by a client machine, access to a resource. A collection agent gathers information about the client machine. A policy engine receives the gathered information. The policy engine makes an access control decision based on the received information. A computing environment already associated with the user is identified in response to the received information, the identified computing environment provided by a virtual machine. A broker server establishes, responsive to the access control decision, a connection between the client machine and the identified computing environment.
摘要:
A method for executing, by a virtual machine, an application program requested by a client machine includes the step of receiving a file including access information for accessing a plurality of application files and for executing a first client capable of receiving an application stream. An identification of the plurality of application files is retrieved, responsive to the received file. At least one characteristic required for execution of the plurality of application files is retrieved, responsive to the file. A determination is made as to whether a client machine includes the at least one characteristic. A second client is executed, responsive to a determination that the client machine lacks the at least one characteristic, the second client requesting execution of the plurality of application files on a remote machine comprising a virtual machine providing a computing environment having the at least one characteristic.
摘要:
A method for providing remote access to a computer environment provided by a virtual machine includes the step of receiving authentication information associated with a user of a client machine. Based on the received authentication information, a computer environment provided by a virtualized operating system and already associated with the user is identified. A connection is established between the client machine and the identified computing environment
摘要:
A method for isolating access by application programs to native resources provided by an operating system redirects a request for a native resource made by an application program executing on behalf of a user to an isolation environment. The isolation environment includes a user isolation scope and an application isolation scope. An instance of the requested native resource is located in the user isolation scope corresponding to the user. The request for the native resource is fulfilled using the version of the resource located in the user isolation scope. If an instance of the requested native resource is not located in the user isolation scope, the request is redirected to an application isolation scope. The request for the native resource is fulfilled using the version of the resource located in the application isolation scope. If an instance of the requested native resource is not located in the application isolation scope, the request is redirected to a system scope.
摘要:
A method for virtualizing access to named system objects includes the step of receiving a request to access a system object from a process executing in the context of a user isolation scope, the request including a virtual name for the system object. A rule associated with the request is determined and a literal name for the system object is formed in response to the determined rule. A request to access the system object is issued to the operating system. The issued request including the literal name for the system object
摘要:
A method for associating a file type of a file with one or more programs includes the step of receiving a request to store in a configuration store file type association information. From the request, an application program is determined that is to be associated with a file type in the configuration store. An association of the file type with a chooser tool is written to the configuration store
摘要:
A method and apparatus for virtualizing access to native resources includes a hooking mechanism, a name virtualization engine, and an operating system interface. A request to access a native resource from a process executing in the context of an isolation environment is received, the request including a virtual name for the native resource. A rule action of remap is associated with the virtual name included in the received request. A literal name for the native resource is formed, the literal name identifying a literal native resource of the same type as the requested resource. A request to access the native resource is issued, the request including the determined literal name for the native resource.
