ABSTRACT:
Embodiments herein address some of the problems associated with compromised configuration files used in a remote sessions of a virtual computing environment. Accordingly, a subset of settings in a configuration file are secured from malicious or accidental modification, while other portions of the configuration file are modifiable by a user as desired without invalidating the integrity of the secure subset. This not only allows for the user to be assured of the integrity of the settings, but also allows an administrator of the remote or terminal server with the ability to control how and what access a client has to resources thereon. Such access may be further controlled based on a trust level between the client, server, and/or publisher of the configuration file.
