 We have created a web browser session and checked to Identify it as MS Internet Explorer. When displaying our email page, the page partially loads but does not show the emails. If we uncheck the Identify as MS Internet Explorer option, emails are displayed but new emails are no longer in bold font. 

You cannot use "Identify as MS Explorer" with many types of web mail sites. The content displayed by a site depends on what type of browser it thinks it is using. As for new emails not in bold -- that is a Firefox issue - you may get better results by changing the font settings.

 How do I go between sessions in TBT mode? 

Ctl+Alt+Up arrow jumps back to the previous session, Ctl+Alt+Down arrow jumps to the subsequent session, Ctl+Alt+End will take you to Terminal Connection Manager and from there F2 enters the Terminal Setup.

*NOTE - starting in version 03.03g19 the key sequence only jumps to subsequent display sessions, not printer sessions.

 I have configured my 5250 sessions to start automatically but they error out and I have to start them again.  

This can happen when you are using a wireless NIC. When DHCP is enabled and the NIC is negotiating for an IP there may be a delay causing the session to attempt to start before the network connection is established. Using a static IP will eliminate this issue or an alternate option is to turn on Enable Automatic Reconnect and uncheck Show Foreground on the Advanced page of the session properties. If the connection fails the first time it should automatically try to reconnect without prompting the user.

 I have a 5250 display and printer session configured to start automatically but the printer session always ends up the top session, how can I reverse it so the display session is on top? 

This relates to the order in which the sessions are created. The sessions start in order of creation so that the last session created is the one that comes up on top. If the printer session is created first it will be opened behind the display session.

 How do I set the alternate address for a Citrix server on the ICA client when natting is involved?  

The altaddr setting can only be set thru the 10ZiG Manager software installed on a PC, this is done by right clicking on an LTC that appears in the BOSmanager and selecting "Properties", then clicking on the "Misc" tab and the clicking the ICA Global Settings button and then the altaddr can be set in the Firewall settings. After the change has been made it is necessary to send the configuration to the LTC thru the BOS by righting clicking the unit again and selecting Configurations and then Download to device.

 I set a password on my Linux thin client but I cannot remember it, how can I reset factory defaults if I can't remember the password? 

You must be at the unit and use the key sequence of Shift+Control+ALT F. If you have set the password through the 10ZiG Manager and did not upload the configuration file to the 10ZiG Manager, you can restore factory defaults from the 10ZiG Manager, but if you have already uploaded the configuration file it must be done from the unit itself.

When resetting back to factory defaults due to an out of range display resolution remember to give the thin client time to completely boot prior to using Shift+Control+ALT F.

 Customer has two routers on the same network and he wants to be able to use a different router as the gateway for his terminal at different times.  

The image below shows the command to do this.

 

(example)

route add default gw 192.168.3.30 eth0 ; define the new route

route del default gw 192.168.3.1 ; delete the old one


or do get rid of it and use default

route del default gw 192.168.3.30 eth0 ; get rid of new one

route add default gw 192.168.3.1 eth0 ; add new one


To make icons to run this procedure, go to a shell and

  1. cat "route add default gw eth0" >/tmp/config/files/newroute
  2. chmod 777 /tmp/config/files/newroute
  3. cat "route del default gw eth0" >/tmp/config/files/oldroute
  4. freeze

This creates two scripts newroute and oldroute and saves them to flash.

Next use a telnet connection with '-iconic -e /tmp/config/files/newroute for ip 127.0.0.1.

When double clicked, this will add the new router as the default.

Do the same for /tmp/config/files/oldroute.

 How do I set up a secure SSH connection to an AS/400 from outside a VPN using a linux thin client? 

To do this the user needs an SSH server running on the firewall into his VPN. There are several ways to setup a secure connection as described below.

  1. Define a Putty connection to the firewall using SSH. On the Tunnels tab of the Putty SSH configuration define a new forwarded port. For 5250 the source port could be anything (23, 2023, etc.).

  2. For the destination specify the address of the AS400 and port 23.

    (ie - 192.168.0.150:23). Then click the Add button to add this port forwarding.

    For the 5250 connection the IP address should be 127.0.0.1 and the port is what you specified as the source port above.

    Auto start the Putty session - before you can start the 5250 session YOU MUST LOGIN to the SSH server using the putty session.

    Once you have logged in you can start the 5250 session and it is now secure.

  3. Define a dummy telnet connection to address 127.0.0.1. Then on the Options line put :
  4. -e ssh -Nf -L localport:IP address of AS400:dest port -l

    the is the user to login to the SSH server as the ports are the same as described above. Again you need to login to the SSH server before you can launch the 5250 session.

    The settings for the 5250 connection are the same as in 1.

  5. Make a script "user_startup" and put in /tmp/config/files and "freeze".
  6. This script should start the ssh port forwarding using the same ssh command as in 1. ie -

    ssh -Nf -L localport:IP address of AS400:dest port -l

    Note that this can also be used to setup secure RDP connections (only the port needs to change).

 How can I get Ctrl+Alt+Del to work in Xendesktop? 

To change the behavior of the client, edit the folowing file:

[WFClient]

TransparentKeyPassthrough=Remote

 The mouse scrolls extremely slow when using ICA or Xendesktop client on a 5672. 

There is a parameter you can use to overcome the scrolling issue.

Edit "wfclient.ini" in terminal properties -> control panel > Ica global settings> Advanced > Edit

wfclient.ini

[Thinwire3.0]

...

TW2StopwatchMinimum=100

...

And set a smaller value, 50 for example.

Note: If this does not resolve the issue and you are using dual monitor the issue is most likely a hardware performance limitation. ICA takes advantage of the video hardware acceleration to render the remote desktop. The chip has hardware limitations when the display area exceeds 2048 pixels (horizontally or vertically), which is the case when using the dual screen (extended desktop) option.

 I am trying to connect to a Cisco ASA 5505 Series using the Linux Cisco VPN Client without success. 

The latest version of the VPN Client is 5.0 but is only supported on Windows (includes the support for the 5000 series)...

Cisco has not maintained the software for Linux since 4.8 (the version 10ZiG is using on Linux thin clients)

A list of the suported servers (found in the release notes of 4.8) is as follows:

  • Cisco IOS devices that support Easy VPN server functionality
  • VPN 3000 Series Concentrators
  • Cisco PIX Firewall Series

Unless Cisco decides to move forward we cannot update the client.

 Can a Linux Thin Client be authenticated using a Radius authentication system? 

For wired TLS and PEAP are supported. For wireless, WPA(2) Enterprise and TLS/PEAP/LEAP are supported.

Version 9 of the firmware - RADIUS authentication is only support in wireless not wired.

Version 8 both wireless and wired is supported.

 When I connect to Citrix XenApp with the Linux Thin Client it appears the Firefox Client is not detecting the Citrix Plugin correctly. 

When you get to the screen below DO NOT take the option to INSTALL but rather select Skip to Log On underneath the green INSTALL option

If you take the option to INSTALL you will be presented with an option to download a file. Cancel out as the Citrix Receiver is already installed but Firefox is not aware of that install at this point.
