How to enable single sign on logon

[stevenfoo]

Hi,

I have just download the trial version for testing.

We are also using Citrix which enable us to have single sign on to the Citrix server.

How can we configure the same in TSplus?

Don't tell me that we have to use the web credential matching which is silly thing.

Hello,

Replacing Citrix by TSplus is a very smart and wise decision.

As you mentioned, it is possible to use the Web Credential for this purpose, a command line allows you to create as many web credentials as you need to : http://www.terminalserviceplus.com/docs/web-credentials

However, if you wish to do autologon you can use command line based URLs like it is describe in
http://www.terminalserviceplus.com/docs ... rl-address

and you can have different links with different credentials to benefit from a different user profile per user

For you information, the method we are using ourselves to have a different user environment when multiple users are opening a session using the same Windows account is to use the session ID Instead of

C:\users\XXXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\MyData

We are using in our code

C:\Users\XXXXXXX\AppData\Roaming\Session#1\MyData

We create this \Session#1\ when session is opening and we copy all of TSplus files into this subfolder.

May be you can use this

C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Session#XXXX\ folder in your application to create your own "per user data environnent".

I think you don't understand me. In Citrix we don't need to logon at all. When we open the portal screen. It is automatically sign on based on your current sign on windows username and password.

That's is what we want. When we open TSplus url portal. User do not need to anything, the application assigned to him or her will just appear there.

Could your product do that?

Tested once on the web credential.

1) In term of security this is very dangerous. The password as stored in plain text in the web configuration.

2) Any user can use anyone credential login to logon from any computer

3) It is not convenient to have thousand of users to be upload and have asking for their windows password. This is crazy.

4) There seems to be no Single Sign On feature available like Citrix. So this is not good as it is not user friendly.

Hello,

Well, I am pleased to advise you can use TSplus to act "as Citrix"

Citrix is using a so call "Receiver".
You have to download it on the user device.
You have to enter your Windows credential with this "Receiver"
Then, and only then, Citrix establish a connection, and it display the application panel for this user.

With TSplus you can obviously do the same.

You can generate a portable connection client. Name it "TSplus Receiver" if you wish.
Then, you can use the Floating Panel, or the Taskbar, as "application panel"

It is as simple as that.

Kind regards

John

John,

I think you miss the real point here. I tried generate a RemoteApp, still I have to enter my username and password.

Also after I generate that, the exe does not work. I run it however nothing happens.

We want to skip the part where we need to enter username and password. Citrix provide us that option that we need.

That's what we are looking at if we want to migrate to TSplus.

Hello,

Possibly you have something specific on your PC which prevents TSplus generated client to act as expected.

I garantee that millions of TSplus users do not enter any logon/password to open a session.
They just click on their connection client.
This is the basic behavior of the TSplus generated client and I am enjoying it myself everyday.

So, if you have such problem it means that you have something very specific, or a mistake done somewhere.

Kind regards

John

Hello,

You also need to make sure you filled in the domain name correctly either in the domain name present in the client generator or in the web preference tile located in the web tile of the admin tool if you connect using the web client.
