HP Easy Shell - Administrator Guide

Creating custom connection error messages
Administrators can create custom error messages for when a connection fails.
▲ The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP\HP Easy Shell\protocols
contains subkeys for the default connection protocols: CitrixICA, RDP, and VMware. With the
subkey specied, create a string key-value with the name ErrorMessage. For the data, input the text
you want to display.
For example, to create a custom error message for RDP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP\HP Easy Shell\protocols\RDP
ErrorMessage=Please contact your administrator.
Display username
To display the username of the user instead of Admin:
▲ In the registry, create the following string key-value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HP\HP Easy Shell\UI
DisplayUsername=True
RDP le customization
Adding custom values
HP Easy Shell automatically generates the RDP le for the RDP connections that you create. To add custom
values to the RDP le, use the Expert tab in the RDP connection editor. The value type can be s (string), i
(integer), or b (byte).
Using a custom RDP le
To use a custom RDP le:
1. On the Basic tab in the RDP connection editor, enable the Custom RDP le option.
2. Specify the RDP le path.
Adding a Citrix StoreFront connection
NOTE: NetScaler is supported as well. HP Easy Shell supports updating StoreFront and NetScaler passwords
after they have expired.
1. In the StoreFront panel, select the StoreFront tile.
2. Select the Select store button to use the wizard.
