Introduction to HealthCast
HealthCast Single Sign-On (SSO) solution is designed to improve user convenience, streamline workflow, and strengthen
security compliance in demanding environments. The same proximity cards used for physical access are used to tap-in and
tap-out of unique user sessions and to tap-over any sessions unintentionally left open on the ThinOS devices. Typically, you
must type in your password only one time each day and use your proximity cards to streamline workflow and save time as they
move between shared computers securely. Also, proximity cards can be secured with a PIN, if configured by the organization.
The HealthCast SSO solution also supports user self-service password reset so that you can reset your own passwords without
the need to call the help desk.
NOTE: HealthCast SSO Solution on ThinOS is a client-server solution. ThinOS provides the client-side functionality, but
you must also install and configure the HealthCast Server components on a server system in order for the solution to work
properly. Contact HealthCast on HealthCast website for one or more server installation executables, server requirements,
and configuration information.
Configuring HealthCast on ThinOS
HealthCast Web API Server is integrated with ThinOS release to implement the HealthCast SSO solution. To use the HealthCast
SSO solution, ThinOS must be configured to use the HealthCast Web API Server. You can do this by using the INI file (wnos.ini),
or using the ThinOS UI. Dell recommends you to use the INI file for large deployments.
ThinOS UI configuration
● To use the HealthCast Web API, configure the HealthCast settings on the thin client side. To configure, do the following:
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup, and then click Remote Connections.
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
