To manually enable WinLogon to load the hprgina module, do the following steps in the exact order listed: 1. Install the RGS Sender on the HP Blade Workstation. If the RGS Sender is not installed or installs with errors, DO NOT perform the remaining steps. Doing so puts the system in a state that requires a complete re-installation of the operating system. 2. After the RGS Sender is installed confirm that the hprgina.dll exists in the C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory. The RGS Sender installer copies hprgina.dll into the system32 directory directly. If it does not exist, DO NOT perform the remaining steps. Doing so puts the system in a state that requires a complete re-installation of the operating system. 3. Add the GinaDLL registry key if it does not already exist. This can be done through the use of regedit, the Windows Registry Editor. Create the key as type REG_SZ (a string type).

Installing and Enabling Easy Login
Installing and Enabling Easy Login on Windows
Easy Login is only supported on HP Blade Workstations running the RGS Sender.
Installing Easy Login is for experienced users and IT administrators. Please read all
the directions completely before proceeding and exercise caution when installing.
The RGS shared library,
hprgina.dll,
enables Easy Login
.
The file
hprgina.dll
is
a GINA (Graphical Identification and Authentication) module that is loaded by the
Window's
WinLogon.exe
process. There are three ways to install and enable RGS
Easy Login.
1. Install time:
The
hprgina.dll
can be installed and enabled during the RGS Sender installation.
This is the preferred method and is the safest and easiest way to enable RGS Easy
Login. The default during installation is to not enable Easy Login. The user must
answer two questions before Easy Login is properly enabled. If enabled, the system
must be rebooted before RGS Easy Login is operational.
2. Using the
rgadmin
Tool:
The RGS Rgadmin Tool can be used to enable or disable the
hprgina.dll
. The
rgadmin
tool can also be run from the command line with the proper options to
enable or disable the GINA module. This method is preferred over the manual
method.
3. Manual Method:
Although this is not the preferred method to enable RGS Easy Login, it is here so
that administrators will know exactly what parts of the system are modified. To
manually enable
WinLogon
to load the
hprgina
module, do the following steps in the
exact order listed:
1.
Install the RGS Sender on the HP Blade Workstation. If the RGS Sender is not
installed or installs with errors,
DO NOT
perform the remaining steps. Doing
so puts the system in a state that requires a complete re-installation of the
operating system.
2.
After the RGS Sender is installed confirm that the
hprgina.dll
exists in the
C:\WINDOWS\system32
directory. The RGS Sender installer copies
hprgina.dll
into the
system32
directory directly. If it does not exist, DO NOT
perform the remaining steps. Doing so puts the system in a state that
requires a complete re-installation of the operating system.
3.
Add the
GinaDLL
registry key if it does not already exist. This can be done
through the use of
regedit
, the Windows Registry Editor. Create the key as
type REG_SZ (a string type). The full path of the key is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GinaDll
