HP ThinPro 6.1 - Administrator Guide

DNS settings
The following table describes the options available in the DNS tab of the Network Manager.
Option Description
Hostname This is generated automatically according to the MAC address of the thin client. You can alternatively
set a custom hostname.
DNS Servers Use this box to set custom DNS server information.
Search Domains Use this box to restrict the domains that are searched.
HTTP Proxy
FTP Proxy
HTTPs Proxy
Use these boxes to set proxy server information using the following format:
http://ProxyServer:Port
HP recommends using the http:// prex for all three proxy settings because it is supported better.
NOTE: The proxy settings are set to the http_proxy, ftp_proxy, and https_proxy environmental
variables for the system.
IPSec rules
Use this tab to add, edit, and delete IPSec rules. An IPSec rule should be the same for each system that uses
IPSec to communicate.
When conguring an IPSec rule, use the General tab to set the rule’s information, addresses, and
authentication method. The Source Address is the IP address of the thin client, and the Destination Address is
the IP address of the system that the thin client is going to communicate with.
NOTE: Only the PSK and Certicate authentication types are supported. Kerberos authentication is not
supported.
Use the Tunnel tab to congure settings for tunnel mode.
Use the Phase I and Phase II tabs to congure advanced security settings. The settings should be the same
for all peer systems that communicate with each other.
NOTE: An IPSec rule can also be used to communicate with a computer running Windows.
Conguring VPN settings
HP ThinPro supports two types of VPN:
●
Cisco
●
PPTP
Enable the Auto Start option to start the VPN automatically.
Note the following about creating a VPN using Cisco:
●
The Gateway is the gateway’s IP address or hostname.
●
The Group name and Group password are the IPSec ID and IPSec password.
●
The Domain setting is optional.
●
The User name and User password are the user credentials that have rights to create a VPN connection
on the server side.
●
The Security Type should be set the same as it is on the server side.
