With JSSE enabled, Windows users can configure Host On-Demand client to accept trusted certificates from the Microsoft certificate store and private keys from the Microsoft certificate store or a security device for Client Authentication.
The digital certificate used to sign the Host On-Demand .jar files has been updated. This does not affect the functionality of the Host On-Demand client. The new certificate is valid till Jan 23, 23:59:59 GMT 2020
In the earlier versions, HOD supports Thai language only when the Windows keyboard layout is set to English and the HOD keyboard is set to Thai. Starting HOD V12.0.0.1, users can directly enter Thai characters on the HOD screen when the Windows keyboard is set to Thai.
HOD Administrator can choose Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE); for secure connections using Redirector. This results in the HOD Redirector using TLS v1.2, TLS v1.1, or TLS v1.0 based on the security configuration of the client or host.
This feature allows HOD client to send Personal Certificate based on Key Usage. The Select Certificate Key Usage dialog shows all of the defined Object ID (OID) key usages. This also supports Extended Key Usage to add a new OID and description to the list. At authentication time, HOD chooses certificates for client authentication, based on the key usage that you select. If a certificate's Enhanced Key Usage attribute contains one or more of the OIDs that you specify, the certificate is eligible for use.
The default theme of HOD V12.0 for Windows clients is based on Nimbus Look and Feel of Java. Other Look and Feel improvements include features such as new session icons, logon screen background, and layout changes.
HOD users can select the text on the terminal screen in uneven fashion similar to text editing application, such as notepad in Windows.
Users can use the close button on the session tab to close the embedded HOD sessions.
HOD V12.0 includes key type-ahead feature that enables users to continue typing when the input is inhibited. Keys typed are queued and processed when input inhibited condition is removed.
HOD v12.0 includes a graphical user interface for the existing command line tool DirUtil for Windows and Linux.
The user can use this feature to copy the green screen (presentation space) or part of it as an image.
The feature is implemented based on the feature Print Graphics of PCOMM. It prints the marked area of screen as image.
To find the HOD server version, the HOD administrator can execute a script or batch file that is available for all the supported operating systems. This is useful for using the command line interface to find the HOD server version.
HOD caches and downloads client pages. When you use a browser that does not support Java plugin to access HOD, it automatically generates a JNLP file, informs users to launch it to use HOD client instead of the Web browser. All the default HOD cached and downloaded client pages and client pages created by HOD V12.0 Development Wizard have this capability. For more information on the supported browsers, refer to the Host On-Demand system requirements page.
You need IBM Installation Manager to install Host On-Demand V12.0 on all the supported platforms.
HOD V12.0 includes a stand-alone client package that works without any dependency on the HOD server. It is available in the HOD publish directory as a zip archive file, StandaloneHOD.zip. Instructions to configure and run the HOD stand-alone client can be found in the extracted package.
The HOD administrator can allow users to download the stand-alone package, with which users can configure and access the host sessions without any dependency on the HOD server.
HOD V12.0 can be installed as a 64-bit application on a 64-bit Operating system. HOD Service Manager runs as a 64-bit process.
Licenses section has been removed from the Host On-Demand Administration console page. To administer and monitor the License usage statistics of HOD clients, administrators can configure new License Manager Server. For more information, refer to How to install and configure the License Manager Server for Host On-Demand and Personal Communications.
