Pass-through authentication?

[William Fields]

Hello,

I would like to be able to take the local users' credentials and pass them
to a terminal server session for a "single-signon" experience.

Specifically, I'm thinking of hosting the Terminal Server ActiveX Control in
my VFP app. and have it attach to a TS session with the users' local user
credentials from the workstation.

Any ideas?

Hi,
You can save user name and password to and pass to the MSRDP.OCX when
connecting to server . Take a look at Remote Desktop Connection (mstsc.exe),
it
can saves password (encrypted) to a .RDP file and user doesn't need to type
login info

Thanks, any idea how Citrix does it?

It would be nice to not have the user need to enter credentials each time
they change their password. Would also be nice to not have to store their
credentials outside of the Windows SAM.

Citrix is same concept.

Remember that the client machine is usually on another network than the
Terminal Server.
It can be any type of devices, OS: PDA, PC, MAC, Linux .

My uninformed understanding (like that?) is that a Citrix solution enables
the current local user credentials to be passed through to the Citrix Server
for authentication.

And I might be a bit ignorant, but are you saying that Citrix stores users'
login credentials in a separate database and makes them re-enter the
credentials to the Citrix datastore each time their password changes?

Thanks.
