Secure Global Desktop Administration Guide > Applications, documents and hosts > Can I use Secure Global Desktop to access VMS applications?
Yes. You can use Secure Global Desktop to access X or character applications on a VMS application server.
To be able to run VMS applications, you must change the
Login Script used by
the X or character application object to either vms.exp or
vmsrexec.exp. The script you use depends on the
Connection Method for the application.
By default, the vms.exp or vmsrexec.exp login scripts
set the transport variable to TCPIP, which is correct for Digital TCP/IP stacks (including UCX).
If you need to change this variable, you can edit the scripts in the
/opt/tarantella/var/serverresources/expect directory.
To use VMS X applications, you must also disable X security on the Security properties panel in Array Manager or by running:
tarantella config edit --security-xsecurity 0
This is because VMS does not support X security.
