HP ThinPro 6.1 - Administrator Guide

Kiosk mode
When a thin client is congured for kiosk mode, it performs an automatic login to the default connection on
startup using predened user credentials. If the connection is ever lost due to a logout, disconnect, or
network failure, it reconnects automatically as soon as it can be restored.
TIP: The remote host can be congured to start resources automatically upon login, making the kiosk mode
experience seamless.
The easiest way to congure a thin client for kiosk mode is to switch it to Smart Zero (see Customization
Center on page 46) and congure a connection. When this is done, the following settings are set
automatically:
●
The taskbar auto-hides.
●
The connection auto-starts.
●
The connection auto-reconnects.
●
The connection shares the user credentials with the local screensaver.
●
The desktop theme is set to that connection type’s default theme.
●
The USB redirection protocol in USB Manager is set to that connection type’s protocol.
If you want to congure a thin client for kiosk mode in ThinPro (for example, if you want to use a connection
type available only with ThinPro), manually congure the following settings for the desired connection:
●
In Customization Center, set the taskbar to Auto hide.
●
In connection’s settings, do the following:
—
Set Auto start priority to 1.
—
Enable Auto reconnect.
—
Enable Share credentials with screensaver, if available.
—
For a Web Browser connection only, select the Enable kiosk mode option.
●
In USB Manager, set the proper USB redirection protocol, if necessary.
TIP: When in kiosk mode, to minimize the connection and return to the local desktop, press Ctrl+Alt+End.
