Dell Wyse ThinOS Version 8.5 Administrator’s Guide

HealthCast SSO features and functionality on ThinOS

The following are the HealthCast SSO features and functionality on ThinOS:

• Proximity card enrollment—HealthCast supports user self-enrollment. Therefore, there is no need to bring the proximity card to a special registration station, or for IT staff to be involved. Instead, you must only tap the disenrolled proximity card at a terminal and you can follow the easy registration process. This is a one-time event after which you can use the card wherever HealthCast is installed.
• Manual login and lock/unlock terminal—If you do not have a card, or choose not to use your card, then you can manually log in using your user name and password. Administrators can disable manual login, if they wish, so that users can sign on with their proximity cards. You can also lock or unlock the terminal, if you have signed on with a manual login.
• Proximity card login and lock/unlock terminal—After the proximity card is registered, tap the card at a terminal to login.

  You can lock the session to secure it, but leave the remote session connected for fast access when you return. To do this, tap the proximity card and the session is locked.

  

  To resume the session, tap the card again.

• Walk away—Terminals can be configured to lock or log off sessions that have been left open. The time that will elapse before automatic lock or log off can be set by an administrator using the convenient web administration application.
• Tap-Over—If a session is locked or left open, a second user can tap their own proximity card and this will disconnect the first session and log the second user into their own unique session.
• Forgotten card—If you forget your card at home, you can receive a temporary card and register it for the day using the same easy registration process mentioned in this section.
• Lost or stolen card—If you report a card as lost or stolen, an administrator can immediately disable the card using the convenient web administration application. This prevents anyone else from using it.
• Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR)—If SSPR enabled by an administrator, you can register for SSPR and reset your passwords without calling the help desk.
• Easy to use web-based administration tool—Administrators can quickly and easily configure settings, manage proximity cards, and users using a web-based administration tool.
