Determine which installation method is used for the on-demand target
The configuration of the on-demand installation method properties determines which installation method is used for the on-demand target.
Note:
When you configure the ondemand.enable.plugins,
ondemand.enable.executable, and
ondemand.enable.jnlp properties, use the following information
to help you determine which installation method is used for the on-demand target. It is strongly recommended to use the executable file
installation method. The Java™ Web Start and
plug-in installation methods are deprecated and will be removed soon. The
ondemand.enable.plugins,
ondemand.enable.jnlp, and
ondemand.enable.executable properties in the
ondemand.properties file are deprecated and will be removed
soon.
Note:
The executable installation method is the only method available
when you are using the on-demand target on a macOS device.
Note:
The
installation of the Firefox plug-in does not complete successfully on Firefox
Version 57 or higher as Mozilla dropped support for legacy add-ons. The support for
this installation method is deprecated in Remote Control starting from Version
9.1.4. IF0003 (Build Number 0309).
