HP ThinPro 7.0 - Administrator Guide

Option Description
Join the thin client to the domain As explained in the chapter on Active Directory Integration, this option lets you formally add
the thin client to the Active Directory’s databases.
Organizational Unit (OU) The thin client is usually added to the “Computers” OU of the database, but you can
manually enter a dierent value here if your database schema demands it.
Dynamic DNS If enabled, the thin client will try to update the DNS server whenever its IP-address/
hostname association changes.

Option Description
Enable single sign-on If enabled, a password supplied at login is encrypted and saved on the system. When a
connection starts with SSO credentials congured, it can decrypt the password and pass it
to the connection so that it can be used for remote login.
Domain login group If enabled, login is restricted to users in the listed domain group.
Domain admin group If enabled, escalation to administrator mode and screen-lock override is limited to members
of the listed domain group.
Enable cached domain login If enabled, a hash of the user’s password is saved on the system and can be used for login
even when the Active Directory server is inaccessible.
Retain user preferences at logout If this option is enabled, any setting changes made by a domain user are stored in a place
where those settings are applied only to that user. If this option is disabled, any such user-
specic changes are discarded when the user logs out.
Allow domain password changes If enabled, expired passwords result in a prompt that allows the user to update their
password, and they can manually update their password using the user icon on the taskbar.
