[SRSS 4.1+] How to use different Kiosk Sessions for different tokens

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:03:19 +0000

Create kiosk session configuration
In SRCC Web Interface
Back it up

# cd # Make sure your are in a reasonable directory to store your configurations  
# PATH=${PATH}:/opt/SUNWut/sbin # Save yourself (and me) some typing  
# utkiosk -e session -s > UserSession.conf

If you have configured applications, also save the application list to a file:

# utkiosk -e session -a > UserSessionApps.list

Store your kiosk session configuration in the Sun Ray data store.
Use a name that starts with a capital letter - all-lowercase names are reserved.

If you don’t need an application list, you can simply upload your UserSession.conf file like this:

# utkiosk -i UserSession -f UserSession.conf

If you did create an application list, the command looks like this:

# utkiosk -i UserSession -f UserSession.conf -A UserSessionApps.list

Configure individual tokens to use this kiosk session configuration.
Here is how to configure one of this configurations to a selected, registred (!) Token OR DTU.

How to register:

# utuser -a "CleverCard.0123456789,localhost,0,John Doe,"

Now you can assign the UserSession configuration to the token:

# utkioskoverride -r CleverCard.0123456789 -s kiosk -c UserSession

Note: This will enable Kiosk Mode for this token, even if it isn’t enabled globally.

[ SRSS 4.1+] How to use SunRay USB Ports on Solaris 10?

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:55:46 +0000

Download this: http://blogs.sun.com/danielc/resource/usbdrived

chmod +x  
./usbdrived install

Using it with Windows Connector:
The Argument is: -r disk:USBDRVS=$HOME/USBDRVS 192.168.1.1 - where you should replace the IP Adress with your Terminal Server

Notes:

After adding a Drive, it can take up nearly a Minute until it comes “online”!
The SunRay 1 use USB 1.1 - so that thing is quite slowly!

Troubleshooting:

Can you see usbdrived running in your Solaris session? (ps -ef | grep usbdrived)
Can you see a file called “Attaching USB Drives to your Sun Ray README.txt” on your Solaris desktop?
Did you install it properly? If so, can you see and what permissions does this have:
/usr/dt/config/Xsession.d/1350.usbdrived (It should be executable by everybody, something like rwxr-xr-x)
When you plug in a USB drive, does it mount in /tmp/SUNWut/mnt/<username> under Solaris?
Under Windows, can you see in “My Computer” a Network drive (In “Others”) called “USBDRVS” and is there a file within that explains usage?
Have you hit refresh in file manager when looking at your USBDRVS mount?
Most important and useful of all: Do any mounts show up if on a Solaris Sun Ray session you issue: /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -l

Solaris 10

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:28:57 +0000

To add a user in Solaris 10:

useradd -c ‘Full Name’ -d /export/home/username -m -s /bin/bash username

(to add an admin user, add -g staff in there)

Then add a password for the user:

passwd username

Under Solaris, there is no sudo.
Use su to become superuser.

Hi Guys,

this Guide did cost me a lot of nerves and time, but its finally complete!
The most of this stuff is ripped from this nearly perfect guide.
But problem is, I did had some difficulties setting it up and got into serious troubles about dhcp (not working), dpkg (screwed up totaly) and other nasty things.
In the end I did this installation about 4 times, but now its working, and guess what? I did do complete notes! And I’m going to share these with you! ^^.
