Menu path: Setup > Sessions > RDP > Remote Desktop Web Access > Authentication

You can change logon settings on the server and select applications that are launched automatically after logging on.

The logon settings on the server are only effective if the Sessions > RDP > Remote Desktop Web Access > Server option under Server configuration is set to Predefined configuration. Further information can be found under Connections.
  • Authentication mode: Specifies how the user authenticates themselves on the server.
    Possible values:
    • Passthrough authentication: This option can be used if the local thin client logon takes place via Kerberos or Shared Workspace. The logon data saved temporarily when logging on to the thin client will be used for the user name and password.
    • Auto logon: The logon data in Username, Password and Domain will be used to log on.
    • User logon: The user enters their data in a logon window.
  • Username: User name when logging on to the server
  • Password: Password when logging on to the server

    Session passwords are stored with reversible encryption. Therefore, we strongly recommend not to store the session password on the endpoint device. 

  • Domain: Domain in which the user name and password are valid


To select an application for automatic launching, proceed as follows:

  1. Click in the Start following applications automatically after server connection is established area.
  2. In the Add dialog, enter the name of the application. (Example: Word 2013)

    You can also enter part of the name followed by an asterisk (*). If for example you enter Word*, all available versions of Microsoft Word as well as Microsoft WordPad will be opened.
  3. Click on Ok.
    After a successful logon, the associated desktop icon for each available application will be placed on the thin client desktop. All applications whose name matches one of the names given in the Start following applications automatically after server connection is established area will then be launched.
