Chapter 7. The ThinLinc Client

Accepted values for the server ﬁeld is the hostname or the IP address of the server. The name ﬁeld should

be ﬁlled in with the ThinLinc username. The authentication information needed depends on the type of

authentication used:

• For password authentication, a plain text password should be entered. The password won’t be shown

as clear text when entered.

• For public key authentication, the path to an encryption key must be entered or browsed to using the

"..." button.

• For smart card authentication, a certiﬁcate must be chosen using the drop down menu next to the

certiﬁcate name ﬁeld.

The server name, username, key path and certiﬁcate name are saved when the user tries to start the

session, so they don’t have to be entered again each time a new session is wanted.

When the user has entered server address, username and authentication information, it becomes possible

to login. This is done by pressing the Connect button or the enter key on the keyboard. The client will

then try to establish a connection with the ThinLinc server. If any of the ﬁelds has a bad value that

prevents the client from successfully logging in, for example if the username or password is incorrect,

there will be response message shown as a message box with the suiting information.

Note: By default, usernames are case-sensitive when logging in via the ThinLinc client. This

behaviour may be changed using an option in the client conﬁguration ﬁle - see

LOWERCASE_LOGIN_NAME in Section 7.7 for details.

If the login attempt is successful a ThinLinc session will start, an old one will be reused or a session

selection box might be presented, all depending on the client’s settings and how many sessions the user

has running, a . See Section 7.4.1 for more information on how the choice is made.
