Configuration of IGEL Windows 365 on IGEL OS

Configuring Logon

  1. In the Profile Configurator, go to Apps > Windows 365 Cloud PC > Windows 365 Cloud PC Sessions > [Session Name] > Logon.


  2. Edit the settings according to your needs. The parameters are described in the following.

Username@domain or @domain

A user name or a preset domain name used for the automatic connection to the Windows 365 session. The string after "@" is taken as a preset domain name.

Example: 

windows@your.domain.com: To log in, the user does not need to enter the username and the domain name.

@your.domain.com: To log in, the user only needs to enter the username. The preset domain – your.domain.com – will automatically be appended.

Overwriting the Preset Domain Name

Use the following registry key to specify whether the user should be able to overwrite the preset domain, e.g. with username@other-domain.com:

Path

System > Registry

Registry

sessions.cpc%.options.allow-preset-domain-overwrite

Value

enabled / disabled (Default) 

Note

If enabled: the domain entered by the user is accepted.
If disabled: the domain entered by the user is replaced with the preset domain.

Password

The password used for the automatic connection to the Windows 365 session.

If the Login Credentials Should Not Be Applied Automatically for the Session Host Authentication

You can use the following registry key to always prompt for a user name and password or only for a password when connecting to an Windows 365 session:

Path

System > Registry

Parameter

Always prompt for username and password upon session host connection

Registry

sessions.cpc%.options.always-prompt-for-session-username-and-password

enabled / disabled (Default) 

Path

System > Registry

Parameter

Always prompt for password upon session host connection

Registry

sessions.cpc%.options.always-prompt-for-session-password

On the server side, you can enable the RDP group policy "Always prompt for password upon connection" to achieve the same result.
