connect to windows terminal server - auto saves authenticati

Hi

Im using optiplex fx160 with suse Enterprise 10 Desktop to connect to
windows remote desktop with the terminal software.
This is regarding a school, with many students.
So I was wondering, when i save a connection, I don’t have the options
to not save username and passwords.

Since some of the clients is going to be placed in some places where
students can pass by all school day,
we don’t want it to be as easy as a students passing by and just
doubleclick on connection and then their in.

Is there any options or possibilities to choose NOT to save
authentication,
and just save the host ip?

Is it aswell free to upgrade? or do you have to pay for upgrading?

Just move this thread if i posted in wrong place…

Regards

André

Are you using rdesktop? If so you can create a launcher with the
following command: rdesktop -k youkeyboardlayout -T NameOfServer
ipofserver.

It’s a thin client with suse Enterprise 10 Desktop,and it seems like
there
is no a right click function on the Desktop neither in any other
places…

Is this a function for v.11 only?

You can probably create a file named myshortcut.desktop in the
/home/username/Desktop folder with the following content:
[color=blue]

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=No name
Type=Application
Exec=rdesktop -k fi -T ServerName IPofserver
TryExec=
Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/network.png
X-GNOME-DocPath=
Terminal=false
Name[en_US]=MyShortcut
GenericName[en_US]=
Comment[en_US]=[/color]

Then it should show up on the desktop?

Thanks for reply.

There is no nautilus on the thin client,
so there is no possibility to browse to any folder either…
Neither creating shortcuts, files or folders…

It’s a very stripped version with only a few applications…

Do you have any other ideas?

So can you add items to the gnome menu, if so then you could place the
.desktop file in the folder where the menu shortcuts are?
