SSGD version 4.41 to be released soon

A small update to the Sun Secure Global Desktop is about to be released. This update contains 5 new features (besides 123 bug and 1 documentation fix).


  • New Command for Securing an SGD Server

    A very easy command to enable security without changing files, creating certificates manually. More on this subject in a later post.

  • Pull-Down Header for Kiosk Mode Applications

    Sometimes needed to temporary switch between your local and remote session. This option can be changed per application on the command-line.

  • Service Tag Support

    More information on Sun Connection: Register

  • Active Directory Authentication Log Filter

    Once again a better way to perform debugging :)

  • Active Directory SSL Security Without Client Certificates

    This will make it easier to connect to Active Directory in a secure way. The secure connection is needed to be able to let users change there Active Directory password via SGD.



The documentation of this new release can be found on the document website of Sun: Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.41 Collection. (With a PDF-version of the Administration Guide :) )

The SSGD 4.41 version is currently not yet available for download, but will be soon.

New java version resolves Active Directory bug for SSGD

There was a small bug regarding password changes during the authentication process when Sun Secure Global Desktop (SSGD) is using the Active Directory authentication. This bug was a bug in the underlaying Java of SSGD. A new version of Java is available since this week with a fix for this bug.

Information and instructions to upgrade the Java version for SSGD see the blog post on Mr PotatoHeads blog:
