Authentication methods
There are three dierent authentication methods available for an RGS connection:
●
Standard authentication—supported for RGS Sender on Windows and Linux.
●
Easy Login—supported for RGS Sender on Windows and Linux.
●
Single Sign-on—supported for RGS Sender on Windows only.
On Windows, the authentication method is selected during installation of RGS Sender and can be changed
later using the RGS Sender Conguration tool (see Using the RGS Sender Conguration tool on page 54).
Smart card redirection is supported for standard authentication and Easy Login (see Using smart card
redirection (Windows only) on page 27).
On Linux, Easy Login can be enabled during installation and disabled using an RGS Sender property (see
Global properties that can be set manually only on page 60).
Standard authentication
Standard authentication is the process by which a local user attempts to connect to a sender that has neither
Single Sign-on nor Easy Login enabled.
In normal operation, users are required to authenticate twice when establishing an RGS connection from a
receiver to a sender. The two steps are as follows:
1. The rst authentication step is from RGS Receiver to RGS Sender. The dialog for this authentication step
is generated and displayed by RGS Receiver on the receiver.
2. The second authentication step is when logging in to or unlocking the sender desktop session. The login
or unlock dialog is generated by the sender and is displayed in the remote display window on the
receiver.
NOTE: If another user is already logged in to the sender, the second authentication step does not take
place. Instead, the currently logged-in user receives an authorization prompt to allow or deny the new
user access to join the existing desktop session (see Collaboration on page 28 for more information).
Easy Login
If you use Easy Login, the rst authentication step (RGS authentication) is skipped.
NOTE: At the login screen, you might see an additional user account named HP RGS ELO. Do not use this
account to log in. Use your normal user account.
NOTE: There are several issues that can prevent an Easy Login authentication. The Diagnostics tab of the
RGS Sender Conguration tool can help troubleshoot these issues. See Using the RGS Sender Conguration
tool on page 54 for more details.
Single Sign-on
If you use Single Sign-on, the second authentication step (Windows authentication) is skipped.
NOTE: Single Sign-on does not support smart card or ActivKey authentication.
NOTE: If you lock the desktop, you might see an additional user account named HP RGS SSO. Do not use this
account to log in. Use your normal user account.
