thin client | Thin clients remotely access some resources of a computer server such as compute power and large memory capacity. The Sun Ray Clients rely on the server for all computing power and storage. |
tick | The time interval since a specified network event. Early versions of SRSS defined a tick as 1/50th of a second. It is now defined as 1/100th of a second, which is the usual SNMP convention. |
timeout value | The maximum allowed time interval between communications from a client to the Authentication Manager. |
token | The Sun Ray system requires each user to present a token that the Authentication Manager uses to allow or deny access to the system and to sessions. A token consists of a type and an ID. If the user uses a smart card, the smart card's type and ID are used as the token. If the user is not using a smart card, the client's built-in type and ID (the unit's Ethernet, or MAC, address) are used instead as a pseudo-token. If mobile sessions are enabled, a user can log into an existing session from different locations without a smart card, in which case the user name is associated with the session. A pseudo-token used for mobile sessions is called a mobile token. Alias tokens can also be created to enable users to access the same session with more than one physical token. |
token reader | A Sun Ray Client that is dedicated to reading smart cards and returning their identifiers, which can be associated with card owners (that is, with users). |
trusted server | Servers in the same failover group that "trust" one another through a common group signature. |
