Using Easy Login

Easy Login is only supported on HP Blade Workstations running Windows XP.

If Easy Login is not installed, users are normally required to authenticate twice when
connecting - once to connect from the RGS Receiver to the RGS Sender (RGS
connection) and another to log into or unlock the remote desktop (Desktop session).

When Easy Login is installed, users will normally need to enter their credentials only
once. The user will directly connect to the RGS Sender and immediately enter their
credentials to log in or unlock the remote desktop in the Remote Display Window.

Easy Login works only with one RGS connection - no other prior / simultaneous RGS
connections are allowed. Easy Login works only with the Sender in one of two states
- the logged off state or the locked desktop state. These two states are WinLogon
states, and are controlled by the WinLogon.exe process running on the Sender
system. WinLogon.exe is the Window's logon manager and is the process
responsible for managing user logon and logoff. The WinLogon.exe process controls
these states, more formally known as WlxDisplaySASNotice and
WlxDisplayLockedNotice

states.

When the remote desktop is in the logged off state (WlxDisplaySASNotice), the
following dialog is present on the remote desktop:

When the remote desktop is in the locked desktop state (WlxDisplayLockedNotice),
the following dialog is present on the remote desktop:
