In Administrator Mode, click on the client toolbar.

2.

Click Edit Default Connection.

3.

Type a username and password for the Kiosk user.

TIP: The username is a generic expression with restricted domain privileges.

4.

Under Advanced, do the following: a.

Set the Autostart Priority to 1.

b.

Select Autoreconnect.

5.

Click Save.

6.

Click Reconnect.

This causes the RDP session to automatically log in on boot. Additionally, if the connection is ever lost due to a logout, disconnect, or network failure, it will automatically reconnect as soon as the connection is restored. The remote host can be configured to autostart any desired applications on login.

To return to the login screen and minimize the session, press Ctrl + Alt + End . This enables you to modify the client settings.

Using RemoteFX with RDP

RemoteFX (RFX) is an advanced graphics display protocol that is designed to replace the graphics component of the traditional RDP protocol. It uses the hardware acceleration capabilities of the server

GPU to encode the screen contents via the RFX codec and send screen updates to the client. RFX uses advanced pipelining technologies and adaptive graphics to make sure that it delivers the best possible experience based on content type, CPU and network bandwidth availability, and rendering speed.

RFX is enabled by default. The administrator or user does not have to change any settings to enable it. The client negotiates with any RDP server it contacts, and if RemoteFX is available, it will be used.

To disable RFX, set the registry key value to:

● root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections/{UUID}/remoteFx to ‘0’

TIP: HP recommends that you enable or disable RFX on the remote host.

Using Multimedia Redirection with RDP

Multimedia Redirection (MMR) is a technology that integrates with Windows Media Player on the remote host and streams the encoded media to the client instead of playing it on the remote host and re-encoding it via RDP. This technology reduces the server load and network traffic, and greatly improves the multimedia experience, supporting 24 fps playback of 1080p videos with automatic

Overview of RDP connection features 15

audio syncing. MMR is enabled by default. A client will negotiate with any RDP server it contacts, and if MMR is available, it will be used.

MMR also uses an advanced codec detection scheme that identifies whether the client supports the codec being requested by the remote host before attempting to redirect it. The result is that only supported codecs will be redirected and all unsupported codecs fall back to server-side rendering.

To disable MMR on the client for all RDP connections, set the value of the registry key to:

● root/ConnectionType/freerdp/general/enableMMR to ‘0’

Because RemoteFX already delivers acceptable multimedia performance, you can disable MMR with

RFX by setting the registry key to:

● root/ConnectionType/freerdp/connections/{UUID}/disableMMRwithRFX to ‘1

TIP: For simplified management, HP recommends that MMR be enabled or disabled on the remote host.

Using multi-monitor sessions with RDP

True multi-monitor support does not require special configuration by the administrator or user. The

RDP client automatically identifies which monitor is specified as the primary monitor in the local settings and places the taskbar and desktop icons on that monitor. If a different primary monitor is desired, it can be set via the local Display settings, available in the Configuration menu. When a window is maximized within the remote session, the window will only cover the monitor it was maximized on.

Display preferences and monitor resolutions can be viewed but not modified within the remote session. To modify the session resolution, log out of the session and change the resolution on the local client. The recommended auto setting uses DDC to communicate with the monitor and automatically sets the resolution to the preferred native resolution of the monitor.

By default, all RDP sessions will be full-screen and span all monitors to enhance the virtualization experience. Additional window options are available through the Edit Default Connection option in the

Configuration menu. Usually, these options are used only on systems supporting multiple simultaneous connections, such as HP ThinPro.

NOTE: The HP t410 All-in-One Smart Zero Client supports a 1366x768 screen resolution only.

When using RFX, the supported screen resolution is 1280x768 only. This causes small black bars to appear on the sides of the connection.

Using device redirection with RDP

Device redirection makes sure that when a user plugs a device into the client, the device is automatically detected and accessible in the remote session. RDP supports redirection of many different types of devices.

Using USB redirection with RDP

In systems connected to a Windows 7 SP1 host, RDP supports redirection for a wide variety of USB devices running in a Hyper-V Virtual Machine.

In systems connected to a Windows 8 or Windows Server 2012 host, HP Smart Zero Core enables

USB redirection to all installations.

USB redirection works by transmitting low-level USB protocol calls over the network to the remote host. Any USB device plugged into the local host appears within the remote host as a native USB

16 Chapter 4 Configuring clients

device, as if it were plugged in locally. Standard Windows drivers support the device in the remote session, and all device types are supported without requiring additional drivers on the client.

Not all devices default to USB redirection. For example, USB keyboards, mice, and other input devices usually are not set to be redirected, as the remote session expects input to come from the client. Some devices such as mass storage, printers, and audio devices use additional options for redirection.

Using mass storage redirection with RDP

By default, the RDP session redirects all mass storage devices to the remote host using high-level drive redirection. When a device such as a USB flash drive, USB DVD-ROM drive, or USB external

HDD is plugged into the system, the client detects and mounts the drive on the local file system. RDP then detects a mounted drive and redirects it to the remote host. Within the remote host, it will appear as a new disk drive in Windows Explorer, with the name <device label> on <client hostname> ; for example, Bill_USB on HP04ab598100ff .

There are three restrictions to this type of redirection.

● The device will not appear in the taskbar on the remote host with an icon to eject the device.

Because of this, make sure to give the device a sufficient amount of time to sync data after a copy before removing the device to be sure that the device does not corrupt. Typically, less than one second is required after the file copy dialog finishes, but up to 10 seconds might be required depending on the device write speed and network latency.

● Only file systems supported by the client will be mounted. The supported file systems are

FAT32, NTFS, ISO9660 (CD-ROMs), UDF (DVD-ROMs), and ext3.

● The device will be treated as a directory; common drive tasks like formatting and modification of the disk label will not be available.

If desired, you can disable mass storage redirection. Turn off USB redirection. Then, change the registry key entries as described in the following table.

Table 4-8 Disabling USB redirection

Registry entry Value to set Description root/USB/root/holdProtocolStatic root/USB/root/protocol

1 local

Makes sure that the USBR type will not be automatically changed when a connection is set or unset

Makes sure that the RDP connection does not attempt to redirect any devices to the remote session

To completely disable local mounting of USB mass storage devices or to disable the redirection of

USB mass storage devices but still allow other devices to redirect, in the client file system, delete the udev rule /etc/udev/rules.d/010_usbdrive.rules

.

Using printer redirection with RDP

By default, RDP has two methods of printer redirection enabled:

● USB redirection—Any USB printer plugged into the device will show up as a local printer in the remote session. The standard printer installation process must happen in the remote session if the printer is not already installed on that remote host. There are no settings to manage locally.

● High-level redirection—If either USB redirection is unavailable on the remote host or the printer is a parallel or serial printer, use high-level redirection. Configure the printer to use a local printer

Overview of RDP connection features 17

spooler, and the RDP client automatically sets up a remote printer that sends print spooling commands through a virtual channel from the remote host to the client.

This method requires both that the printer be configured on the client and a Windows driver be specified on the client because the RDP client needs to specify to the remote host which driver to use for the remote printer. This Windows driver must match the driver that the printer would use when locally attached to a Windows operating system. This information is usually found under the Model in the printer properties.

NOTE:

See Configuring a serial or parallel printer on page 39 for more information.

Using audio redirection with RDP

By default, high-level audio redirection will redirect audio from the remote host to the client. Basic voice control might need to be set up, and RDP 7.1 contains a number of advanced audio redirection features that might require additional configuration.

● RDP delivers the highest quality audio as the network bandwidth allows. RDP reduces audio quality to play on low-bandwidth connections.

● No native audio or video syncing mechanisms are available in standard RDP. Longer videos might not sync with audio. MMR or RemoteFX can resolve this issue.

● If USBR is enabled, HP recommends that all USB audio devices be redirected by USBR. This makes sure that all audio is mixed locally to improve quality. If USB redirection of an audio device is required, be sure that the RDP sound setting is set to Leave at remote computer instead of Bring to this computer. Configure this setting using the Local Resources page in the

Connection Settings available in Administrator Mode.

Disable MMR if all audio devices are set to local, because it will only play multimedia through the default audio device.

● Microphone redirection is enabled by default. The default microphone volume might need to be adjusted on the client. This can be done through the Configuration menu.

● Both the local and remote volume settings will affect the final volume. HP recommends setting the local volume to a maximum and adjusting the volume within the remote host.

Using smart card redirection with RDP

By default, smart cards will be redirected using high-level redirection, allowing them to be used to log in to the session and other remote applications. To enable smartcard login, check the Allow smartcard login box on the login screen or within the Connection Settings. This will allow the user to connect without first specifying credentials. The RDP client will then start the RDP session, and the user will be prompted to authenticate by smart card.

This technology requires drivers for the smart card reader driver to be installed on the client. By default, the CCID and Gemalto drivers are installed, which adds support for the majority of smart card readers available. Additional drivers can be installed by adding them to /usr/lib/pkcs11/ .

NOTE: When smart card login is enabled, Network Level Authentication is not supported and is automatically disabled.

Setting RDP options

For the best user experience, use the Experience tab in the Connection Settings to set the

Connection Speed to LAN. If bandwidth reduction is required, the connection speed can be set to

Modem, which will disable all experience options.

Using Multimedia Redirection with VMware Horizon View

VMware Horizon View connections support MMR functionality when used with the Microsoft RDP protocol.

For more information, see Using Multimedia Redirection with RDP on page 15 .

Using multi-monitor sessions with VMware Horizon View

VMware Horizon View supports multi-monitor sessions. To enhance the virtualization experience, the default VMware Horizon View sessions use full-screen and span all monitors. To choose a different window size, select Full Screen – All Monitors under the protocol type of the desktop pool for the connection and then choose another option from the window size list. The next time you connect to a session the window will open in the selected size.

Using keyboard shortcuts with VMware Horizon View

Windows keyboard shortcuts

To help administer Windows systems, VMware Horizon View supports Windows keyboard shortcuts.

For example, when Ctrl + Alt + Del is used, VMware Horizon View displays a message that provides the following options:

● Send a Ctrl+Alt+Del command.

● Disconnect the session—Use this when you have no other way of ending the session.

Windows keyboard shortcuts will be forwarded to the remote desktop session. The result is that local keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl + Alt + Tab and Ctrl + Alt + F4 , will not function while inside the remote session. To switch sessions, the top bar can be enabled by unchecking Hide top menu bar in the

General tab of the Connection Settings or via the registry key root/ConnectionType/view/ connections/{UUID}/hideMenuBar .

Media keys

22 Chapter 4 Configuring clients

VMware Horizon View uses media keys to control options such as volume, play/pause, and mute during a remote desktop session. This supports multimedia programs such as Windows Media

Player.

Using device redirection with VMware Horizon View

Using USB redirection with VMware Horizon View

To enable USBR for VMware Horizon View connections, select VMware Horizon View as the remote protocol in the USB Manager.

For more information on USBR, including device- and class-specific redirection, see

Using USB redirection with RDP on page 16 .

NOTE: For information on configuring USB redirection for versions of HP Smart Zero Core that do not use the USB Manager, see

USB options in previous HP Smart Zero Core releases on page 107 .

Using mass storage redirection with VMware Horizon View

You must use the RDP connection protocol to use mass storage redirection with a VMware Horizon

View connection.

To perform drive redirection of a USB drive or internal SATA drive:

▲ Disable USBR by using the USB Manager to set the Remote Protocol to Local.

This creates a network-mapped drive in the virtual desktop session for each internal and external mass storage device connected to the client. The file system format of the storage being remoted does not matter. For example, an ext3-formatted USB key can be used on a Windows connection.

For more details, see

Using mass storage redirection with RDP on page 17 .

Using printer redirection with VMware Horizon View

For connections made with the PCoIP protocol, USBR supports printers. For connections made with the RDP protocol, see

Using printer redirection with RDP on page 17

for more information.

Using audio redirection with VMware Horizon View

If you do not need the audio recording capability, use high-level audio redirection. Audio will play out of the 3.5 mm jack or, by default, a USB headset if it is plugged in. Use the local audio manager to adjust the input/output level, select playback, and capture devices.

The VMware Horizon View client does not support high level audio-record redirection via the PCoIP connection type. If you need audio-recording support, use one of the following methods:

● If you are using the Teradici PCoIP Client on the t410 system, install the Teradici audio driver from http://techsupport.teradici.com

on the virtual desktop. This allows high-level audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset.

Overview of VMware Horizon View connection features 23

NOTE: Only systems with Teradici PCoIP Client 1.2 or higher support high-level audio redirection using a USB headset. Systems with older versions of the client will redirect the headset through USBR.

● If your system uses VMware Horizon View Client 1.7 or higher, use the RDP protocol to allow for high-level audio redirection through either the 3.5 mm jack or a USB headset.

NOTE: To use high-level audio-record redirection through the RDP protocol, the server must support it and be configured to allow audio recording over a remote session. The server must be running Windows 7 or greater. You also must make sure the

HKLM\SYSTEM

\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp

\fDisableAudioCapture registry key is set to 0 .

● If you have a USB headset with a microphone, use USBR. Set the USB headset to be redirected into the session. The headset will show up as an audio device. By default, USB audio devices are not redirected and the view client uses high-level audio redirection. To redirect the USB headset, use the client’s USB Manager and select the USB headset to be redirected. Make sure that VMware Horizon View is selected as the USBR protocol and make sure that the headset is checked under the Devices to be redirected.

NOTE: VMware does not recommend using USBR for headsets. A large amount network bandwidth is required to stream audio data over the USBR protocol. Also, you might experience poor audio quality with this method.

Using smart card redirection with VMware Horizon View

To use a smart card to log in to the VMware Horizon View server:

1.

In the Connection Settings dialog box, under General, select Allow smartcard login.

After starting the connection, the VMware Horizon View client will display a list of server credentials.

2.

To unlock the credentials and access the VMware Horizon View Manager server, type the appropriate PIN for the server.

NOTE: After you supply the correct PIN, the user’s credentials will be used to log in to the VMware

Horizon View Manager server. Please see the VMware Horizon View documentation for details on configuring the server to support smart card login. As long as the server is configured to allow smart card login, the user’s credentials will pass through and they will be logged in to the desktop without having to enter their PIN again.

NOTE: To log in to the VMware Horizon View Manager administrator server with a smart card, the local smart card driver must be installed on the client. See

Using smart card redirection with RDP on page 18 for more information on smart card driver installation. Once logged in to the remote host,

the smart card will be passed to the remote host using a virtual channel, not USBR This virtual channel redirection makes sure that the smart card can be used for tasks such as email signing, screen locking, and so on, but might cause the smart card to not show as a smart card device in the

Windows Device Manager.

NOTE: The remote host must have the proper smart card drivers installed.

Using webcam redirection with VMware Horizon View

The VMware Horizon View client does not support high-level webcam redirection. Webcams can be used only if they are redirected using USBR. The webcam might perform poorly or not at all. See

Using USB redirection with RDP on page 16 for more information.

● PCoIP protocol

● RDP protocol

26 Chapter 4 Configuring clients

To change the connection type:

1.

In the VMware Horizon View client under Desktop, select a pool that supports one of the following protocols:

● PCoIP

● RDP 2

2.

On the pull-down list, select a connection type.

NOTE: Use the VMware Horizon View Manager to configure which connection protocol should be used for each desktop pool.

TIP: HP recommends using the PCoIP protocol to enhance the desktop experience. However, the

RDP protocol provides more options for customization and might work better on slower connections.

To access the Experience options, use the Connection Settings dialog box.

For more details on specific options for RDP connections, see Setting RDP options on page 18 .

Installing certificates on clients

Use the Certificate Manager when installing a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate. This action copies the certificate to the user’s local certificate store (/usr/local/share/ca-certificates) and configures

OpenSSL to use the certificate for connection verification.

If desired, use HP Smart Zero Client Services to attach the certificate to a profile, as described in

Adding certificates to a client profile on page 38

.

NOTE: For more information, see http://linux.die.net/man/1/x509 .

NOTE: Generally, a self-signed certificate will work as long as it is valid according to specification and can be verified by OpenSSL.

VMware Horizon View HTTPS and certificate management requirements

VMware Horizon View Client 1.5 and VMware Horizon View Server 5.0 and later require HTTPS. By default, the VMware Horizon View client warns about untrusted server certificates, such as selfsigned (like the VMware Horizon View Manager default certificate) or expired certificates. If a certificate is signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) and the CA is untrusted, the connection will return an error and the user will not be allowed to connect.

HP recommends that a signed certificate verified by a standard trusted root CA be used on the

VMware Horizon View Manager server. This makes sure that users will be able to connect to the server without being prompted or required to do any configuration. If using an internal CA, the

VMware Horizon View client connection returns an error until you complete one of the following tasks:

● In Administrator Mode, access the client control panel and select Additional Configuration >

Advanced > Certificates to open the Certificate Manager. Then, import the certificate from a file or URL.

● Use a remote profile update to import a certificate.

● In the VMware Horizon View Manager, select Edit Connection Settings > General. Set

Connection Security Level to Allow all Connections, and then click Apply.

30 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting clients

Troubleshooting firmware corruption

If the client beeps two times after it is powered on or does not appear to boot, then the device firmware may be corrupt. It is possible to resolve this by downloading the client image from http://www.hp.com

, copying the image to a removable USB flash drive, and then booting the client from that flash drive.

Reimaging client device firmware

1.

Download the image from http://www.hp.com

.

2.

Unpack the image to the path C:\USBBoot.

3.

Format a USB flash drive.

4.

Copy all the files from C:\USBBoot to the root of the USB flash drive.

5.

Power off the client.

6.

Insert the USB flash drive into the client.

7.

Power on the client. The client will boot to the USB flash drive.

8.

Follow the on-screen instructions to reimage the client.

9.

When the reimage process completes, remove the USB flash drive and press Enter .

Troubleshooting serial or parallel printer configuration

Before configuring printer ports, obtain the printer's baud rate from the printer's documentation. If you do not have that documentation, find the baud rate by completing the following:

1.

Turn the printer on while pressing and holding the Feed button.

2.

Release the Feed button after a few seconds. The printer will enter a self-test mode and print out the required information.

TIP: You might need to turn the printer off to cancel the test mode or press Feed again to print a diagnostic page.

NOTE: Most serial printers will print a diagnostic page when you perform this operation. If your printer will not print the diagnostic page, see the printer's documentation.

To enter the printer's baud rate:

1.

Using the Profile Editor under Registry, select root/printer-mapping-mgr/{UUID}/BaudRate.

2.

Enter your printer's baud rate.

NOTE: The UUID will match the UUID of the printer in root/printer. Look there and match the printer with the UUID in the root/printer-mapping-mgr.

3.

Click Save.

4.

Right-click the UUID, and then click Apply Changes.

Troubleshooting Citrix password expiration

If users are not being prompted to change expired Citrix passwords, then make sure the XenApp

Services site (PNAgent site) has the Prompt authentication method set to allow users to change expired passwords. If you allow users to change their passwords by connecting directly to the domain

Troubleshooting firmware corruption 31

controller, then make sure the time of the client is in sync with the domain controller and use the full domain name (for example, domain_name.com

) when entering the Citrix login credentials. For more information, see Citrix documentation.

Using system diagnostics to troubleshoot

System diagnostics take a snapshot of the client that can be used to help solve issues without physical access to the client. This snapshot contains log files from the BIOS information and the processes active at the time the system diagnostics were run.

TIP: Check the Enable Debug Mode box in the System Logs tab of the About this client screen to generate more information in the diagnostic report. This information may be requested by HP for troubleshooting. Because the system resets log files when it reboots, be sure to capture logs before a reboot.

Saving system diagnostic data

1.

Insert a USB flash drive into the client.

2.

On the client toolbar, click

Logs tab.

to access the About this client screen, and then click the System

3.

Click Diagnostic, and then save the compressed diagnostic file Diagnostic.tgz to the USB flash drive.

Uncompressing the system diagnostic files

The system diagnostic file Diagnostic.tgz is compressed and will need to be uncompressed before you can view the diagnostic files.

Uncompressing the system diagnostic files on Windows-based systems

1.

Download and install a copy of the Windows version of 7-Zip.

NOTE: You may obtain a free copy of 7-Zip for Windows at http://www.7-zip.org/ download.html

.

2.

Insert the USB flash drive that contains the saved system diagnostic file, and then copy

Diagnostic.tgz to the desktop.

3.

Right-click Diagnostic.tgz and select 7-zip > Extract files.

4.

Open the newly created folder named Diagnostic and repeat step 3 on Diagnostic.tar.

Uncompressing the system diagnostic files in Linux- or Unix-based systems

1.

Insert the USB flash drive that contains the saved system diagnostic file, and then copy

Diagnostic.tgz to the home directory.

2.

Open a terminal and browse to the home directory.

3.

On the command line, enter tar xvfz Diagnostic.tgz

.

Viewing the system diagnostic files

The system diagnostic files are divided into the Commands, /var/log, and /etc folders.

32 Chapter 5 Troubleshooting clients

Viewing files in the Commands folder

This table describes the files to look for in the Commands folder.

Updating clients

●

Using the broadcast update method

●

Using the DHCP tag update method

●

Using the DNS alias update method

42 Chapter 8 Using Automatic Intelligence

●

Using the manual update method

Using the broadcast update method

To do a broadcast update, plug the client into the same network as the update server. A broadcast update relies on HP Smart Zero Client Services, which works with IIS to automatically push updates to the client.

NOTE: Broadcast updates work only if the client is on the same subnet as the server.

TIP: To verify that the broadcast updates are working, run the Profile Editor and make some changes. Connect the thin client and verify that it has downloaded the new profile. If it has not, see

Troubleshooting clients on page 30 .

Using the DHCP tag update method

On the Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 systems, DHCP tagging enables a client to update. Use this method to update specific clients; however, if you have only one or two clients to update, consider using the manual update method instead. Otherwise, HP recommends the broadcast update method.

Example of performing DHCP tagging

The example in this section shows how to perform DHCP tagging on a Windows 2008 R2 Server.

NOTE: To use DHCP tagging, see your DHCP server documentation.

1.

On the server desktop, select Start > Administrative Tools > DHCP.

2.

In the left pane of the DHCP screen, click the domain where the clients are connected.

3.

In the right pane of the DHCP screen, expand and right-click IPv4, and then click Set Predefined

Options.

4.

In the Predefined Options and Values dialog, click Add.

5.

In the Option Type box, configure the options as described in the following table.

8.

To complete the setup, click OK. DHCP tagging is now ready to update specific clients.

Updating clients 43

Using the DNS alias update method

During system startup, Automatic Update attempts to resolve the DNS alias auto-update. If that host name resolves, it attempts to check for updates at http://auto-update:18287. This update method enables clients to access a single update server across the entire domain, thus simplifying management for deployments with many subnets and DHCP servers.

To configure the DNS alias update method:

▲ Change the hostname of the server hosting HP Smart Zero Client Services to auto-update or create a DNS alias of auto-update for that server.

Using the manual update method

Use the manual update method to connect a client to a specific server for an update. Also, use this method if you want to test an update on a single client before pushing the update to many clients, or if you have specific updates to be installed on only one or two clients.

NOTE: Be sure you specify the hostname of the manual server in the profile that you are updating to. Otherwise the settings reset to automatic when downloading the profile. Use the Profile Editor to modify these settings at root/auto-update.

NOTE: If multiple clients require specific updates, use the DHCP tagging method.

If no update segregation is required, use the broadcast update method.

Performing a manual update

1.

On the client toolbar, click .

2.

Click Administrator/User Mode Switch.

3.

In the Administrator Password box, type your password, and then click OK.

B Customizing the client login screen

Customizing the screen background

This section describes the common attributes and elements used in customizing the client login screen background.

There is one directory per connection type—plus a default style—that specifies the style elements of the connection’s background image and login window style. Registry entries specify the directories in which these files are stored and can be modified to point to custom directories. For instance, the registry key root/zero-login/styledir/view points to the directory containing style elements for the login desktop for VMware Horizon View connections, which defaults to /etc/hptc-zero-login/styles/view.

In a style directory, the file bgConfig.rtf specifies the elements in the desktop's background window.

The syntax of the bgConfig.rtf file is in a stylesheet-like format with some or all of the elements described below. Each element begins with an element type and then a set of attributes surrounded by braces, such as in the following example: global { color: 666666; # Dark gray padding: 20; # 20 pixels }

Any number of image or text elements can be specified. If any gradients are specified, only the last of them is used to color the desktop's background; otherwise, the color specified in the global section is used. Any line that begins with a number sign “#” is considered a comment and is ignored, as are blank lines. Text following a semicolon that begins with a “#” is also treated as a comment, such as the previous example.

Each element is assigned a set of attributes such as size, color, and position. Each attribute is specified by the attribute name, followed by a colon, followed by its values, followed by a semicolon, all on a single line. Some of these attributes are common to many element types.

The elements include:

● Common attributes

● Elements

● Image

● Text

Squared interpolation is somewhat quicker to draw.

Table B-14 Login Screen > Elements > Custom > colors

Type Description

Parameter

Example

Default

Use

A space-separated list of [value,color] pairs, where the value is a 0.0–1.0 floating point fraction of the axis of measurement

(for example, the width of the screen in a linear width-axis gradient) and the color is the color of the gradient at that point. The value runs top-to-bottom for vertical linear gradients; left-to-right for horizontal linear gradients; and center-to-edge for radial gradients. Colors are specified as either six-digit hex or three 0–255 comma-separated values.

colors: 0.0,000000 0.5,996600 0.9,255,255,255;

Not applicable

Colors are interpolated along the linear or radial axis between the points and colors specified. If no values are given, the colors are assumed to be evenly spaced on the axis between 0.0 and 1.0. If the first fractional value is greater than 0.0, the first color will be used in the space between the screen edge and the first value. Likewise, if the last value is less than 1.0, the last color will be used between the last value and the screen edge. Values must be in increasing sorted values, though a value can be repeated for a sharp transition. For example, “0.0, CCCCCC 0.5,EEEEEE

0.5,660000 1.0,330000” in a vertical linear gradient would specify a gradient between light grays on the upper half and dark reds on the lower half.

Customizing the client login dialog box

This section provides examples that describe how to customize the client login dialog box.

Figure B-1 Components in the client login dialog box

The client login dialog box uses one directory per connection type plus a default style that specifies the style elements of the connection’s background image and the login window style.

The registry entries specify the directories in which these files are stored and can be modified to point to custom directories. Within a style’s directory, files with the .qss

suffix customize the style elements of the login area.

The

*.qss

files are Qt stylesheets. For more information about Qt stylesheets, see http://qt-project.org/ .

Most of the elements in the login area can be customized using qss-style elements. Each has been assigned an ID so they are easily addressable using the #elementID selector.

Customizing the central frame

This section provides an example of different ways to customize the central area of the login dialog box.

QFrame#centralFrame {

/* Sea green dialog background color */ background-color: rgb(46,139,87);

/* Rounded, thicker borders */ border-width: 6px; border-radius:

16px;

/* Make sure it is at least 400 pixels wide */

56 Appendix B Customizing the client login screen

min-width:

400px; }

Customizing the text for the header

This section provides an example of different ways to customize the text in the login header.

LoginArea QLabel#loginHeader {

/* Change the login text at the top */ qproperty-text: "Login Here"; color: white; font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold;

}

NOTE: Text that is overridden in the .qss file will not be localized when the locale changes.

Customizing the icon for the header

This section provides an example of different ways to customize the icon in the upper-right of the login header.

LoginArea QLabel#loginIcon {

/* Substitute my company logo for the normal one. */ image: url

(/writable/misc/MyCompanyLogo .png); min width: 48px; min-height: 48px;

}

It can have a different style when it is not enabled:

QPushButton#connectButton:dis abled { /* Flat gray */ background: rgb(204,204,204); border-radius: 3; color: rgb(102,102,102); font-size: 12pt;

If set to 1, the full keyboard layout control panel item will be enabled for users. This is normally disabled because it has a direct control available from root/zero-login/ controls .

If set to 0, the full-size mixer control panel will be disabled for users. It is usually redundant, as the mini control covers the same functions. To fully disable volume control, root/ zero-login/controls/audio/authorized must also be set to 0.

If set to 0, users will not be able to modify local client mouse settings. Users will still be able to modify mouse settings through remote host settings.

If set to 0, users will not be able to access network settings.

This might be useful in a DHCP-only environment where all network settings are given to clients by the DHCP server.

If set to 0, users will not be able to set Windows driver values for locally attached printers, which might prevent some printers from mapping to remote sessions properly. This setting does not affect USB redirection.

If set to 0, users will not be able to set Windows driver values for CUPS attached printers, which might prevent some printers from mapping to remote sessions properly. This setting does not affect USB redirection.

If set to 0, users will not be able factory reset the client. The only way to factory-reset a device if this control is disabled is to update the client with a new configuration that has this control enabled or to restore the factory image via USB key.

If set to 1, a root X terminal control panel item will be enabled for users.

CAUTION: Enabling root terminal access is a security risk and is not recommended in a production environment. The root terminal should only be enabled for use in debugging a protected, non-production environment.

If set to 1, the security item will be enabled for users.

If set to 1, the shortcut manager item will be enabled for users.

If set to 1, the Admin/User mode Switch will be enabled for users.
