Click Set Password to set the password. Enables a notification dialog on the remote system that informs the remote user when someone is attempting to connect using VNC. The user can refuse either allow or refuse access. Sets the length of time in seconds that the remote notification dialog is displayed. Allows you to display a message in the notification dialog to the remote user. If enabled, the VNC connection will be refused by default when the timer expires.

Certificate Manager To open the Certificate Manager: ▲ Select Advanced > Certificates in the Control Panel. Use the Certificate Manager to manually install a certificate from a certificate authority (CA). This action copies the certificate to the user's local certificate store (/usr/local/share/ca-certificates) and configures OpenSSL to use the certificate for connection verification. If desired, use the Profile Editor to attach the certificate to a profile, as described in Adding certificates to a ThinPro profile on page 64. NOTE: Generally, a self-signed certificate will work as long as it is valid according to specification and can be verified by OpenSSL. SCEP Manager To open the SCEP Manager: ▲ Select Advanced > SCEP Manager in the Control Panel. Use the SCEP Manager when you need to enroll or renew client-side certificates from a CA. During an enrollment or renewal, the SCEP Manager generates the thin client's private key and certificate request, and then it sends the request to the CA on the SCEP server. When the CA issues the certificate, the certificate is returned and placed in the thin client's certificate store. OpenSSL uses the certificate for connection verification. NOTE: Before enrollment, make sure that the SCEP server is configured properly. Use the Identifying tab of the SCEP Manager to enter information about the user, if desired. 24 Chapter 4 Control Panel configurations

Certificate
Manager
To open the
Certificate
Manager:
Select
Advanced >
Certificates
in the Control Panel.
Use the
Certificate
Manager to manually install a
certificate
from a
certificate
authority (CA). This action
copies the
certificate
to the user’s local
certificate
store
(/usr/local/share/ca-certificates)
and
configures
OpenSSL to use the
certificate
for connection
verification.
If desired, use the
Profile
Editor to attach the
certificate
to a
profile,
as described in
Adding
certificates
to a
ThinPro
profile
on page
64
.
NOTE:
Generally, a self-signed
certificate
will work as long as it is valid according to
specification
and can be
verified
by OpenSSL.
SCEP Manager
To open the SCEP Manager:
Select
Advanced > SCEP Manager
in the Control Panel.
Use the SCEP Manager when you need to enroll or renew client-side
certificates
from a CA.
During an enrollment or renewal, the SCEP Manager generates the thin client’s private key and
certificate
request, and then it sends the request to the CA on the SCEP server. When the CA issues the
certificate,
the
certificate
is returned and placed in the thin client’s
certificate
store. OpenSSL uses the
certificate
for
connection
verification.
NOTE:
Before enrollment, make sure that the SCEP server is
configured
properly.
Use the
Identifying
tab of the SCEP Manager to enter information about the user, if desired.
