Chapter 2

Note

If you are using both PNAgent/PNLite and a User profile, the user name must be defined in the Windows domain to be used and the password must be the same for both the domain and the User profile.

In a Virtual Desktop environment, user authentication is made against the Virtual Desktop Broker (the user name and password are stored on the Broker or a third party authentication server). Therefore, the password must be changed on the Broker or the authentication server.

If you are required to sign on and are using PNAgent/PNLite services (so that the user profile password is forwarded to the PNAgent/PNLite server), you can have an application change your domain password but you cannot change your ini file password while using PNAgent/PNLite. Therefore, if you change the domain password, you will lose the effect of any directives in the user ini file, including any potential upgrade of privilege (for example, the privileges in the wnos.ini file may be set to None, but the privileges in the user ini file are set to High).

Understanding Your User Profile

Profiles for users contain the settings and connection definitions for the thin client. They are created and maintained by the network administrator and reside on the enterprise intranet FTP server or Virtual Desktop server. The thin client accesses these user profiles when you sign on. The location of these files may be automatically supplied to the thin client by the DHCP server (if set up by the network administrator), or if DHCP is not available, their location must be entered in the Network Setup dialog box.

Note

The Global profile (wnos.ini) and User profile (user.ini) on an FTP server can take effect only when a Virtual Desktop environment is not used.

Types of user profiles include:

•Global - All clients of the same FTP server have these profile settings.

•User - Only the individual user has these profile settings. Settings in User profiles can override corresponding Global profile settings.

Note

If you want to change your user profile, ask your network administrator. In a Virtual Desktop environment, the user profile is set in the user policy. Therefore, different users with the same policy will have the same user profile.

You have the same user profile, regardless of which thin client you use. If allowed by the network administrator, a limited number of settings are available locally. For instructions on selecting local operator preferences such as display, keyboard, mouse, and printer selections, refer to "Setting Up the Thin Client."

Note

If the network to which the thin client is connected does not provide FTP or Virtual Desktop services, a user profile will not be available and network addresses and connection definitions must be entered locally on the thin client. If user profiles are available from an FTP or Virtual Desktop server but DHCP does not supply the location of the server, you can access the user profiles by entering the location of the FTP or Virtual Desktop server locally at the thin client (refer to "Configuring Network Settings" for more details).
