2.23 RGS security features
Because of the distributed nature of an RGS connection, providing connection security is critically
important. RGS implements many features to provide connection security, including:
●
Authentication: When a local user attempts to connect to a Remote Computer, the user
credentials are validated using the native authentication method on the Remote Computer. If the
credentials are not authenticated, the connection is closed. On Windows, authentication uses
NTLM or Kerberos. On Linux, authentication uses the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).
●
Authorization: Multiple connections to the same Remote Computer are only allowed if the user
logged into the desktop of the Remote Computer (primary user) allows the connection. When
another user attempts to connect to the Remote Computer, an authorization dialog is displayed on
the desktop of the Remote Computer that asks whether the new user should be allowed to connect.
●
Automatic desktop locking: The desktop of the Sender system locks when the primary user
disconnects. This prevents collaboration users from being able to interact with a remote session
after the primary user has disconnected. This feature is supported on Windows. On Linux, this
feature is supported on the Gnome, KDE, and CDE desktop environments.
●
Automatic disconnect: On Linux, all Receivers will disconnect when the primary user
disconnects. This prevents collaboration users from interaction with a remote session after the
primary user disconnects.
●
Automatic disconnect of collaboration users on Login: All collaboration users are
disconnected when a login event occurs. Only the primary user remains connected when the
desktop of the remote computer is logged in.
●
Automatic disconnect on log off: All Receivers are disconnected when the primary user logs
off of the remote desktop. This can be disabled by setting the IsDisconnectOnLogoutEnabled
Sender property to "0". See the Sender properties for more information.
●
Connection status: A desktop icon in the application tray animates when other users are
connected.
●
Collaboration notification: See
Collaboration notification dialog on page 100.
●
Connections are not allowed when an iLO remote console is enabled: If the iLO
remote console is enabled on a HP Blade Workstation, connections to the blade using RGS are
denied.
