HP Remote Graphics 4.2.0 User's Guide

These two WinLogon states requires the user to type in Ctrl-Alt-Del, the standard WinLogon SAS (Secure Attention Sequence), to enter in their credentials. If the remote desktop displays either of these states with no other RGS connections present, then an Easy Login connection will work. If the remote desktop state differs from these requirements, Easy Login will not work and the user will need to enter their credentials twice.

To support Easy Login in the RGS Sender, the Sender must know about the various WinLogon states. The Sender uses a custom RGS GINA (Graphical Identification and Authentication) module, hprgina.dll, to determine these states. It resides in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory of the Sender's system. The hprgina.dll module is loaded by Window's WinLogon.exe process at system boot up. Once the module is loaded, the Sender receives notifications of all WinLogon state changes.

The RGS Sender enables Easy Login functionality with a correctly installed and configured hprgina.dll module. Please refer to Installing & Enabling Easy Login section to learn more about enabling Easy Login.

Microsoft Remote Desktop and Easy Login

Microsoft Remote Desktop and RGS Easy Login ideally coexist and work well together under certain situations. The following scenarios demonstrate how a user and an IT administrator can work together using their preferred methods:

∙UserA uses RGS to connect to his HP Blade Workstation.

∙UserB is an IT administrator and uses Microsoft Remote Desktop to connect to UserA's Blade Workstation.

Careful orchestration keeps Easy Login enabled. Under certain scenarios, it can become disabled. The following section describes several of the possible key scenarios.

UserB never connects in - RGS Easy Login remains enabled for UserA:

This is the primary scenario assumed for day-to-day operations.

1.UserA logs off and then disconnects the RGS Receiver from the sender before leaving work for the evening. UserA might also lock the workstation rather
