Using the Connect Manager

Clicking the Connect Manager button on the task bar opens the Connect Manager. The Connect Manager has a list of connection entries and a set of command buttons available for use with the connections.

Note

Non-privilege users cannot view the Connect Manager.

Figure 4 Connect Manager (High-privileged user example)

The command buttons available depend on the privileges of the user and administrator configuration; the following default examples are typical:

•High-privileged user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Sign-off.

•Low-privileged user - Includes Connect, Settings, and Sign-off.

•Guest user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Sign-off.

•Stand-alone user - Includes Connect, New, Settings, and Delete.

Note

If set by the administrator (enablelocal=yes in the user.ini/wnos.ini file), High-privileged, Guest, and Low-privileged users will have the Delete command button available instead of the Sign-off command button).

The use associated with these command buttons also depends on user privilege. For example, Settings allows a High-privileged user to view and edit connection definitions, while it allows a Low-privileged user to only view connection definitions.

Note

Guest user privileges are determined by the administrator.

The Connect Manager command buttons include:

•Connect - To make a connection, select a connection from the list and click Connect.

•New - Clicking New opens the Connection Settings dialog box either directly or through the Connection Protocol menu selection for creating a new connection definition (for more information on the Connection Settings dialog box, refer to "About Configuring ICA and RDP Connections"). The new locally-defined connections are added to the connection list. Be aware of the following information:

•High-privileged and Guest user - Typically, all locally-defined connection definitions are temporary and are lost when the user logs off and when the thin client restarts or is shut down. However, if configured by the administrator
