When an RX300 or RX-RDP device operates in RDP Client mode and is configured for a direct Remote Desktop Session Host connection then immediately after booting up the device shows the Remote Desktop Connection logon box on the main screen. As soon as the user enters valid credentials and clicks the [Connect] button the device attempts to authenticate the user and, in case of successful authentication, attempts to establish an RDP connection and start a full-screen remote desktop session. When the authentication fails an error message gets displayed. When the user logs off or disconnects the RDP session the device reverts to the main screen with the Remote Desktop Connection logon box.

Pre-configuring the Domain name

To simplify the logon process and to exempt the users from the necessity to enter the Domain name, the Domain name can be pre-configured. P

Automatic user logon

The device can be configured to automatically authenticate a predefined user on a specified Remote Desktop Session Host and to automatically connect to RD Session Host in case of successful authentication (so-called Kiosk Mode configuration). In such case the information about the user account used for the automatic logon and the Remote Desktop Session Host address gets displayed instead of the above described main screen:

When an RX300 or RX-RDP device operates in RDP Client mode and is configured for a RemoteApp programs or desktops connection then immediately after booting up the device shows the Remote Desktop Connection logon box on the main screen. As soon as the user enters valid credentials and clicks the [Connect] button the device attempts to authenticate the user and, in case of successful authentication, enumerates the RemoteApp resources (programs and desktop) which have been published for the authenticated user. When the authentication fails an error message gets displayed.

Working with RemoteApp programs and desktops

The enumerated RemoteApp programs and desktops are listed for the user in RemoteApp and Desktop Connections window:

The [Launch], [Refresh], and [Logoff] buttons allow the user to launch the selected program or desktop, refresh the RemoteApp list, or logoff.

Published RemoteApp desktops will always be launched in full-screen mode. The NComputing SuperRDP extension will be supported and the users can benefit from the vCAST technology included in SuperRDP (additional license fee applies).

Published RemoteApp programs will be started in separate window, which the user can freely re-arrange on his or her desktop: maximize, minimize, restore, resize, move, etc. Switching between the windows of RemoteApp programs is possible by clicking the window icon on the taskbar, or with the Alt-Tab key combination.

When the user clicks the [Logoff] button and confirms the intention to log off the credentials will be invalidated and the possibly running RemoteApp programs will be disconnected. The programs will keep running on their RD Session Host and reconnecting them at a later time will be possible.

Automatic user logon

The device can be configured to automatically authenticate a predefined user on a specified Remote Desktop Web Access server. In such case the information about the user account and the Remote Desktop Web Access server used for authentication gets displayed instead of the above described main screen:

List of published RemoteApp resources will be displayed after automatic user logon.
