Sun RayInstall Sun Ray Server Software and demo_kiosk package according to http://mediacast.sun.com/users/mplona/media/srs4_install.pdf

Administration Console - https://sunsol:1661 [LOGIN-admin, PASSWORD-set while utconfig]

Each physical Sun Ray connected to the Sun Ray Server for first time and each card first time inserted into any SR's reader must be registered – set its description/owner/localisation (to easy locate particular SR/user in an admin console).Above description will appear in a tab Tokens in admin console as:– pseudo.MAC_ADDRESS – physical Sun Ray device– Payflex.CARD_NO – card.

For each token separately, that is:– for each Sun Ray without card – token pseudo.MAC_ADDRESS– for each card inserted into any(!) Sun Ray – token Payflex.NUMBERmust be set what to display after connection to Sun Ray Server.

What can be displayed:– full session – Windows desktop (keyword full)– one application (keyword app)– menu with applications to choose from (keyword menu2 - menu8)Additionally in a case of using Sun Ray without card (token pseudo.MAC) can be displayed:– single image - background (keyword logo). Without card one can display company's logo/background, after card insertion – what is configured for that card, ie. employee's

session/application.– slide show - images (keyword slide). Without card one can display ie. company's presentation (Reception Desk/Tradeshow), after card insertion – what is configured for that card,

ie. employee's session/application.

As a starting point - suggested configuration is for all:– Sun Rays without card – tokens pseudo.MAC – set keyword logo– cards – tokens Payflex.NUMBER – set keyword full

How to define what to display?In Admin Console, in Tokens tab click particular token (pseudo.MAC – physical Sun Ray without card, Payflex.NUMBER – card inserted into any Sun Ray):

Then click Edit: Then in 'Other information' field:

one must put one of the options:

1. full,LOGIN,PASSWD,DOMAIN,WIN_IP – full Windows sessionexample with PASSWD filled in – full,demo1,userpasswd,local,192.168.1.10 example with PASSWD NOT filled in – full,demo1,,local,192.168.1.10

with_passwd Sun Ray's screen will display: without_passwd

2. app,LOGIN,PASSWD,DOMAIN,WIN_IP,PATH_TO_APP – single Windows/Solaris applicationexample with PASSWD filled in – app,demo1,userpasswd,ad.company.com.pl,192.168.1.10,c:\windows\notepad.exe

Sun Ray's screen will display: If passwd will not be set Sun Ray will display: After typing proper passwd Sun Ray will display:

3. menu2,LOGIN,PASSWD,DOMAIN,WIN_IP,WINDOW_RESOLUTION,APP1_PATH,APP1_BUTTON_NAME,APP2_PATH,APP2_BUTTON_NAME – menu with Windows/Solaris applications. Number of buttons – 2 to 8, appr. keywords – menu2 to menu8. Windows app will run on Win server, Solaris apps on Sun Ray server. Example for THREE buttons:menu3,demo1,userpasswd,local,192.168.1.10,1024x768,c:\windows\notepad.exe,Notepad,c:\windows\regedit.exe,Regedit,\usr\bin\firefox,Firefox

4. logo,IMAGE_PATH – one image display Useful for Sun Ray without card – token pseudo.MACExample – logo,/usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/Sun-Default-color.png

5. slide,IMAGE_DIR_PATHS,FREQUENCY_seconds – slide show of images from given directory, change after given seconds Useful for Sun Ray without card – token pseudo.MACExample - slide,/usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds,60

Sun Ray will display slideshow of pictures from given directory:

Notes:– if one doesn't know or doesn't want to type user password – it should be omited, two commas without any spaces between should be left - „demo1,,local”. User will see login

window with LOGIN field filled in and will have to type password manually– if one doesn't have or doesn't want to connect to an Active Directory infrastructure – type local as DOMAIN name– if one displays menu with application buttons – keyword menu2-menu8 default desktop background image is displayed. To change it one should place proper image as

/background.jpg file on a Sun Ray Server. File should be readable for a group and others.– if one in Desktop Units tab, for particular Sun Ray, in its Location field will set Sun Ray's localisation (ie. room 212), that description will appear in Terminal

Services Manager of Windows server, in tab Sessions – to easy locate particular terminal session from Windows side:

Devices connected to Sun RayUSBDisk devices connected to Sun Rays' USB ports can be mapped to Windows.If one in Desktop Units tab, for particular Sun Ray device, in its Other Information field will type keyword usb - disk device (pendrive, USB disk) connected to that Sun Ray's USB ports will be mapped to Windows session as a network drive.

Notes:– only disk devices supported (pendrive, usb disk)– disk connected to Sun Ray appears in Windows as a network drive, not directly connected USB device. To disconnect it first close all applications which use it (esp. all types of file

managers) and only then(!) take the device out the USB port.

PrintersPrinters connected to Sun Ray thru its USB port or network printers connected to LAN network can be mapped to Windows.1. Connect printer to SR's USB port or LAN network2. On Solaris create queue for each printer (only once for particular printer):- USB – lpadmin -p QUEUE_NAME -v PATH_TO_DEV -I any -o banner=never where PATH_TO_DEV=/tmp/SUNWut/units/MAC_of_SR/dev/printers/PRINTER_NAME– ETH - lpadmin -p QUEUE_NAME -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=PRINTER_IP -I any -o banner=never– /usr/bin/enable QUEUE_NAME– /usr/sbin/accept QUEUE_NAME3. On Windows, install driver for the particular printer model (it's installation of driver only, so there is no need to physically connect printer to Windows server):

Printers, Add a Printer, Next, Local Printer, UNtick Plug'n'Play printer, Next, Use LPT port, point driver, Next, NextAll PostScript printers can be configured to use a generic driver, that is „HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS”. If one uses PS printer - there is no need to install any drivers.4. Run Regedit.exe and write down printer driver name- MyComputer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Print/Environments/Windows NT x86/Drivers/Version-3 5. Remove printer from Windows. Procedure needs only driver, not physical printer, so make sure that driver still exist in Regedit.exe

6. In Admin Console in Desktop Units tab, for particular Sun Ray, in its Other Information field type QUEUE_NAME=WINDOWS_DRIVER (ie.xerox_duplex=HP Color LaserJet 8500 PS), where QUEUE_NAME is a name of a queue created in Solaris and WINDOWS_DRIVER is a driver name from Regedit.exe. Mind the printer name (exact!!! as in Regedit.exe) and spaces.7. After log in to Windows – new printer will appear.

Notes:– each printer created with above procedure can be mapped thru any Sun Ray to any Windows session – printers might be shared above way– printers created above way are temporary and dissapear from Windows configuration after session log out, so there are no unneeded printers in Windows– network printers might be directly configured in Windows (as regular Win network printers) and completelly omit SR configuration. Those printers will be persistent across logins

– Sun Ray can have up to 3 printers configured via Other Information field. First one will act as a default printer.

SerialSerial devices connected to Sun Rays' serial ports can be forwarded to Windows.If one in Desktop Units tab, for particular Sun Ray, in its Other Information field will type keyword serial:NUMBER (ie. serial:1), serial port of that Sun Ray will be mapped to Windows session.

Notes:- whole COM port is mapped to Win, so one can connect any serial device and configure it under Windows, using Windows driver- forwarded COM port will appear as Windows COM device with number given via Other Information field (1-9). Example serial:1 .

USB, serial, printers, localisationAll above devices can be configured together. All information in Other Information field should be divided by commas - ','. There is no special order of typed information.

Solaris applications:– full Solaris desktop - in Admin Console, in Tokens tab click particular token (pseudo.MAC or Payflex.NUMBER), click Edit. Set Advanced, Session Type to Regular.– keyword app-one doesn't need to type any login,passwd,domain,win_srv info,just keyword,app_path (ie. app,/usr/bin/firefox).Usable when creating kiosks with www browseronly– keyword menu – only Solaris applications – one doesn't need to type any login,passwd,domain,win_srv info. Example:menu2,,,,,,/usr/bin/gnome-terminal,Terminal,/usr/bin/firefox,Firefox

– keyword menu–Sol and Win applications–login,passwd,domain,win_srv info needed by Win only. Example:menu2,demo1,d1,local,10.1.2.91,800x600,c:\windows\regedit.exe,Regedit,/usr/bin/firefox,Firefox

ExampleLet's assume we have:– two Sun Rays:– Sun Ray 2 – located at MPlona's desk – no app needed without card– Sun Ray 270 – located at the Reception desk – www browser needed for users without card (ie. customers)

– three users:– John Smith – worker in a warehouse – needs just few, specific apps, doesn't need whole desktop– Maciek Plona – regular user – needs full screen Windows session– Administrator – needs full screen Solaris session

After connecting both Sun Rays to network and inserting each card for first time – one has to register all those devices. Their descriptions appear in a Tokens tab, Owner column of Admin Console.

Click on each token, click Edit and set its „Other Information”:

Assuming above token configuration - what is seen on each Sun Ray without card or on any Sun Ray afer card insertion? SR2 MPlona desk SR270 Reception

card - John Smith card - Maciek Plona card - Administrator

What's going on on my Sun Ray server?In example below – 5 sessions exist on a server, while only two are connected (there are only two Sun Ray clients on a network, so there can't be more than two sessions connected at a time):– SR270 works and shows its configuration for without_card – token pseudo.MAC– card of Maciek Plona is inserted to Sun Ray. Where is that SR? Click on its MAC address...;)
