Once the Windows connector has been configured, you can start a Windows session on a Sun Ray Client from a Windows system.

Issuing the uttsc command with no options except the name or address of a Windows system displays a Windows session on the Sun Ray Client, as shown in Figure 18.2, “Windows Connector (uttsc) Example”.

Figure 18.2. Windows Connector (uttsc) Example

The default screen size is 640 x 480 pixels.

To display a session in full-screen mode or to modify it in other ways, see the uttsc(1) man page.

uttsc -u user -A 24 -g 1024x768 -r sound:high 192.168.1.20

uttsc -u user -A 24 -m -b 192.168.1.20

uttsc -u user -A 24 -g 1024x768 -r sound:high -r scard:on 192.168.1.20

uttsc -u user -A 24 -g 1024x768 -r sound:high -r disk:H=path 192.168.1.20

uttsc -r scard:on -m windows_system

The Sun Java Desktop System (JDS) integration package for the Oracle Solaris operating system delivers the command uttscwrap command, which improves integration of the Windows connector with the JDS desktop on Oracle Solaris. The JDS integration package is included in the Supplemental folder of the Sun Ray Software Media Pack. See Section 3.2.5.1, “Installing the JDS Integration Package (Oracle Solaris)” for detailed installation instructions.

The uttscwrap command provides a login dialog that enables you to input credentials for password-based authentication (username/domain/password). The credentials can be saved through the dialog for subsequent invocations. At the next launch, the dialog displays the credentials.

Credentials are saved separately for each Windows system and application combination. This convention enables you to save different credentials in the following ways:

Any new credentials saved for a server or application replace previously saved credentials.

To use the uttscwrap command, specify the same parameters as the uttsc command line.

Steps

This procedure describes how to lock a Windows session when a session moves away from a given Sun Ray Client.

A commonly used approach to implement session locking is to send the lockscreen keystrokes to the Windows Session using xvkbd, which is invoked by utaction.

You can invoke the utaction command from an Xsession.d or xinitrc.d script as follows:

#!/bin/sh
XVKBD=/usr/openwin/bin/xvkdb
/opt/SUNWut/bin/utaction -d "$XVKBD -text 'Ml'" &

Because xvkbd is not available by default, you should modify the XVKBD setting in the example so that it correctly identifies the installation location of xvkbd.

To access the uttsc command directly, add the following entry to your PATH variable:

/opt/SUNWuttsc/bin, /opt/SUNWuttsc/sbin, /opt/SUNWuttscwrap/bin

The /opt/SUNWuttscwrap/bin path is required only if you are using the JDS integration package.

A graphical user interface is not available for the Windows connector at this time. However, you can set up a launcher to create a desktop icon or menu item to connect to the Windows session.

For details about how to set up launchers, consult the desktop documentation for your operating system.

The Windows connector provides the ability to separate settings for the session local and keyboard layout. The -G option specifies the language/locale for the session and the -Y option specifies the keyboard layout used to process the keyboard input. For example, you can specify the nl-NL Dutch locale with a US international keyboard layout as follows: uttsc -G nl-NL -Y en-US:INT.

See the uttsc man page for more details. The -l option is still available and sets both the language/locale and keyboard layout.
