Exit from Web Presentation Mode To exit Web Presentation Mode, you need to sign out from the WebUser session. You can do this by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL and selecting Sign Out. After signing out, you will be redirected to the login screen. Remember that Praim thin clients come pre-configured with two user accounts: User and Admin.
When using the Web presentation mode, the user interface will be a browser pointing to the configured website (by default https://www.praim.com). The Windows desktop is replaced with a full-screen browser, preventing any interaction with the operating system. In this mode, users cannot access the Windows desktop and can only interact with the content of the displayed webpage. This setup is ideal for informational kiosks, digital signage stations, and similar applications.

The Web Options window will open.

¶ Ignore certificate errors

¶ Enable pop-up
Select this feature if you need the browser to open pop-up windows. Please note that pop-ups can only be enabled if the Ignore Certificate Errors option is disabled and the URLs are not filtered through the whitelist.

The image below shows a Web presentation mode where all possible buttons that can be shown on the control bar were selected.
¶ Show date and time
When enabled, the date and time will be displayed in the bottom right corner of the browser.
¶ Whitelist
The White List allows the navigation to specific websites or URLs. To activate it you need to add at least one rule either by clicking on +New Rule or by clicking on Import From File button.
¶ New rule
A rule is a regular expression that represents all the URLs to which the end user is allowed to have access. E.g. the rule https?:\/\/www\.yourwebsite\.com\/.* indicates the user can have access to a page that belongs to http://www.yourwebsite.com/ or https://www.yourwebsite.com/.

¶ Import From file
Click on the button to select the file with the list of regular expressions. Each line of the file should correspond to a regular expression. Be aware that the White List is part of the device configuration profile and therefore can be replicable to other devices through the profile manager.
