Using the Connection Manager
To use the Connection Manager:
1. Click Connect Manager on the taskbar.
● The Connect Manager has a list of connection entries and a set of command buttons available for use with the
connections.
● Non-privileged users cannot view the Connect Manager.
The Connection Manager dialog box is displayed.
2. In the Connection Manager dialog box, use the following buttons to configure the Connection Manager settings:
a. Click Connect to select a connection from the list and make a connection.
b. Click New to open the Connection Settings dialog box either directly or through the Connection Protocol menu
selection for creating a new connection definition.
The locally defined connections are added to the connection list. Be aware of the following information:
● High-privileged user—Typically, all locally defined connection definitions are temporary and are lost when the user
logs off and when the thin client restarts or is shut down. However, if configured by an administrator
(enablelocal=yes), locally defined connection definitions can be saved in these cases.
● Stand-alone user—Locally defined connections are retained when the thin client restarts or is shut down and there
is no individual logon. Network configuration settings must be made locally.
c. Click Properties to open the Connection Settings dialog box for the selected connection.
Be aware of the following information:
● High-privileged user—Can view and edit the definitions for the currently selected connection. Edits are not
permanently retained when the user signs-off.
● Low-privileged user—Cannot create or edit connections, but can view connection definitions. However, you can
enable a low-privileged user to create a connection using INI parameters.
● Stand-alone user—Can permanently modify the persistent connections except when PNAgent/PNLite services are
used.
d. Click Sign-off to sign off from the thin client.
e. Select a connection from the list, and click delete to delete the selected connection.
f. Select a Virtual connection from the list, and click Reset VM to reset a selected virtual connection.
g. Click Global Connection Settings tab to open and use the Global Connection Settings dialog box to configure
settings that affect all the connections in the list.
Login dialog box features
While the Login dialog box allows you to log on to the server, it also allows you to:
● Obtain system information.
● Access Admin Mode to configure thin client settings.
● Change or reset your own password, and unlock your account.
● Open the Shutdown dialog box by using CTRL+ALT+DELETE.
In the Login dialog box, use the following guidelines:
● System Information—Click the Sys Info button to open the System Information dialog box. You can view the thin client
system information such as System Version, IP Address, information on devices connected to your thin client, event logs and
so on.
● Admin Mode—Click the Admin Mode button to configure various settings locally on the thin client other than broker
desktop configurations. For example, you can choose to manually configure the Citrix XenBroker Server URL or override the
URL that is centrally defined by file servers by using the Remote Connections dialog box as described in Remote
Connections.
