The Security tab enables controlled access to the terminal and its configuration screens. This may be done by the system administrator by “locking down” the terminal; so, making the terminal configuration unavailable to the normal user.
Deny Connection Changes: if enabled does not allow the user to edit or even access the configuration menu of connections.
Enable SSH: will enable the SSH service on the thin client. Because the password requested by SSH is the same password used to modify the terminal configuration (see the option five lines below) the best practice is to enable SSH only when you set that password.
Enable USB Mass Storage: this option enables or disables the USB hot-plug detection for USB mass storage device.
Enable PowerOff/Reboot: when flagged will show the "Shut down" button on the Connections Manager window and the shutdown icon in the taskbar.
Enable Console: if enabled allows to open a console pressing the hot-keys combination <Shift> + <Ctrl> + <Alt> + "0".
Enable Settings in taskbar: if enabled shows the "Settings" icon in the taskbar.
Password required to modify the terminal configuration: this option protects the access to the Settings window by asking the local device password. This password is also the password for the root user and is asked when an SSH connection is made to the thin client from the ThinMan.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Praim strongly suggests setting this password for every thin client on the network. Remember that the password can be easily managed automatically using the Profile Manager features on ThinMan Server.
Once the password is configured accessing the Settings window will ask for that password.
Remember the password
Please remember the password. If you don't remember the password you can reset the device to the factory reset configuration (losing all data and configuration on it) following this guide: How to recover a device protected by a password. This procedure needs the intervention of the Praim Support team.
User Parameters: it can be specified and configured which parameters of the Settings can be modified by users when the device is protected by a password.
Note on User Parameters
User Parameters can be enabled so the user that access the device may change the configuration of the enabled section without the needs of the password. The Video Settings applet can be configured with more granularity (clicking on "Configure..." button) so the available choices for the user may vary.
E.g. in this case all the User Parameters applet are enabled. The user may change these parameters without the need for the device password.
