I’m trying to configure an old S10 which has been sitting around the office since late 2007 to use as a proof-of-concept for a switch-over to WTOS, however I’ve run into a serious problem with configuring user rights on the system.
I need each user account defined by a
.ini file to use the connection manager to launch their Citrix sessions. I also don’t want them to have access to any configuration options other than their mouse speed, volume, and some basic system info (IP address, etc) for troubleshooting.Unfortunately, there appears to be only three pre-defined privilege levels with little-to-no room for customization. When I set the privilege level to privilege=none, it disables all configuration options. This is fine, as adjusting the mouse speed and volume are just niceties anyway, but it also disables the connection manager, which is a crucial part of the user interface. I have tried using HideConnectionManager=no with this privilege setting, but it does not seem to change anything.
When I set the privilege level to privilege=low, the connection manager appears, but it also gives the users access to change several things I do not want them touching. Even with HidePPP=yes, HidePN=yes and ShowDisplaySettings=no set, the user can still change the timezone settings, character set, keyboard language, default ICA options, screensaver settings, serial and printer port settings, and most important/dangerous of all, the terminal’s hostname!
So my question is this: Is there a way to either a) enable the connection manager when the privilege level is set to privilege=none, or b) disable/lock out the additional configuration settings listed above when the privilege level is set to privilege=low?
I am running WTOS 5.3.0_09 on this terminal, if it makes any difference.
Any help and/or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there a workaround, or am I stuck with this the way it is unless I pay for an upgrade?
December 7, 2009 at 6:01 am #17161Yeah a firmware update will help, as far as i know the option “HideConnectionManager=no” has been introduced but only works with firmware “i don’t know” (if it’s 5.3.xx you could get a free update)
I know this because it was one of my request at Wyse.
December 7, 2009 at 7:51 am #17162aLIE is right. The parameter “HideConnectionManager” was introduced back in september 2008 with firmware versions 6.0.1_14 and 6.1.0_22.
