Menu option HPDM Agent SSHD Manager ThinState VNC Shadow Description Lets you configure the HP Device Manager (HPDM) Agent. For more information, see the Administrator Guide for HPDM. Enables access through a secure shell. HP ThinState lets you make a copy of or restore the entire operating system image or just its configuration settings. For more information, see HP ThinState on page 55. Lets you configure VNC Shadowing options. For more information, see VNC Shadowing on page 58. Active Directory configuration Status tab This control lets you activate or deactivate authentication against a domain, joining the domain, and various domain-related options. After you make a change to domain parameters on the Status tab, the page shows a pending action and you must select Apply to make that action happen. Joining or unjoining the domain requires credentials with permissions to perform that operation. After enabling authentication or joining the domain, some of the subparameters might be marked as read-only because it is not possible to change them at that point in time. Instead, you must unjoin or disable authentication altogether and then apply the changes. Then you can reenable authentication or join with altered sub-parameters. Option Domain name Authenticate against domain Require thin client login Workgroup Domain controllers Join the thin client to the domain Organizational Unit (OU) Dynamic DNS Description If the thin client can determine the domain name using DHCP options, it will be displayed here. Otherwise you will have to enter the fully-qualified domain name manually. When enabled, domain credentials can be used, as outlined in the Active Directory Integration section of this guide. This is on by default, and it causes the system to boot up into the domain login screen. If disabled, domain credentials can still be used to switch to administrator mode or to override a locked screen, but single sign-on will not be available. Usually this is auto-detected from information provided by network servers, but you can use this as a manual override if you have an unusual network topology. These are usually detected using DNS lookups, but you can specify them manually if your network is not supplying that information. As explained in the chapter on Active Directory Integration, this option lets you formally add the thin client to the Active Directory's databases. The thin client is usually added to the "Computers" OU of the database, but you can manually enter a different value here if your database schema demands it. If enabled, the thin client will try to update the DNS server whenever its IP-address/ hostname association changes. 54 Chapter 9 Control Panel
