The Security tab enables controlled access to the terminal and its configuration screens.

-
Deny Connection Changes: when enabled, it does not allow to access, hence neither to edit, the configuration menu of connections.
-
Enable SSH: it will enable the SSH service on the thin client. Since the password requested by SSH is the same password used to modify the terminal configuration, enable SSH only when you set the password required to modify the terminal configuration.
-
Enable USB Mass Storage: when disabled, USB mass storage devices are not mounted.
-
Block access to system files in local File Manager: when connecting a USB storage to the device or the ThinOX has been configured to Activate the user partition, the end user could access the system files. To avoid this situation, select this option.
-
Block access to system files in Browser sessions: when using a browser, the end user could use the Ctrl-O option to open a file or Ctrl-S option to save a file. Select this option to avoid the end user accesses to the system files.
-
Enable PowerOff/Reboot: when flagged, it will show the Shut down button on the Connections Manager window and the shutdown icon in the taskbar.
-
Enable Console: if enabled, it allows to open a console pressing the hot-keys combination <Shift> + <Ctrl> + <Alt> + "0".

¶ Password required to modify the terminal configuration
This option protects the access to the Settings window.
Once the password is configured, it will be asked for accessing the Settings window.
This password is also asked when a SSH connection is made from the ThinMan.
-
Password/Confirm: the password should contain ascii characters only.
-
Max number of incorrect login: by the default, it is set to zero.
-
Available User Settings: when clicking on this button, it will open the window below.
Select the settings you want to show the end-user when the "password required to modify the terminal configuration" option has been enabled and set:
- Video Settings
- International Settings
- Mouse Settings
- Sound Settings
- Enable Hotkey
- Show Advanced Settings button
- Show WiFi Settings
- Show Advanced WiFi Settings
When the above options have been enabled, the end user will be able to open the Settings window in a restricted mode, showing only the selected options (see image below).
IMPORTANT NOTE
Praim strongly suggests setting this password. Remember that it can be easily managed automatically through the Profile Manager on ThinMan.
Remember the password
In case you forget the password, there is no possibility of recovering it. You will need to reset the device to factory default losing all data and configuration on it (for more information, read How to recover a device protected by a password).
¶ Startup Wizard Settings
On this section you can configure whether you want the WiFi Wizard and the ThinMan Wizard to appear at the device's startup.
- Show WiFi Configuration Wizard
- Skip WiFi configuration wizard this option appears on the WiFi configuration window on Startup (see below image).
- Show ThinMan Wizard at startup: When setting the terminal to "Factory default" and this option is enabled. The user will be able to establish the "ThinMan Address" on Startup. Be aware that this option will run only once.
