Hi Aleks,
A custom connection, if you use the application server's IP adress, ony
requires access to the server via port 1494. User authentication is done
during the logon process.
An application set also requires the client to be able to enumerate
published applications.
This means the client will have to be able to "talk" to the XML service
(port 80) on one of the application servers, and, depending on farm
configuration, also the XML service on the data collector.
The default discovery mechanism for app servers is a DNS lookup on the
hostname "ica". Otherwise a browser list of app servers will have to be
defined for the ICA client and this still might still not work if the data
collector isn't one of the servers visible.
Data collector access aside, it's easy to embed a default browse list into a
preconfigured client. PN enumeration should then work.
An application set also requires authentication, so in your scenario
passthrough authentication would have to be disabled.
regards,
Rick
