[openthinclient-user] Unable to Connect to Realm
Not sure what happened, at one point I was able to connect from my workstation to the manager and then to the Realm, but now I'm unable to from my workstation and from the server itself. The information page to log on comes up, we are not connected to our AD, I enter the password and click next and nothing happens, almost like it's not recognizing that next was clicked. I thought it might be because my workstation was running Java 7.25 so I downgraded back to 7.21 and the problem still exists. Last night we rebooted the server and still the same problem. Our thin clients are still working, I just can't get in to manage anything. Any help or suggestions would be great.

Miguel- It's listening on port 10389. I inherited the system and I'm trying to figure out how it works so that I can upgrade to version 1 to hopefully address some security concerns found in a penetration test. We are using the openthinclient realm and our workstations use PXE boot. The only service that I see that is related is the one titled openthinclient.org. Is there another service that I should be looking for? The only service that is set to automatic that is not running is related to Sophos.

Re: [openthinclient-user] Unable to Connect to Realm
Sorry for the confusion, we are not running the virtual appliance, we are just running the installation on a Windows 2008 server. As far as I know there's nothing specific with our configuration. Best of my knowledge the ThinClient's PXE Boot and connect to a specific server. Where are the configuration files stored for the LDAP and how would I go about backing them up and restoring them? I had posted a question a several weeks ago to see what the process would be to upgrade but did not get any real answers. One response mentioned that the configurations are probably stored in an XML but not specifics. Part of why I was trying to get into the manager was to see if there was an option to back up or a path that would show me where the configuration files are kept. It sounds like we have two options to upgrade, but either way we will need to back up and restore our LDAP settings. We can either upgrade the installation on Windows that we currently have or go the appliance route with VM (which you believe is the best route). Is this correct?

Good news for you. The best solution, If you don't know details about the inherited infraestructure, is allways migrating to 1.0 version. The problem are the LDAP users of the openthinclient: you will need to make a backup of the LDAP and then restore that backup on the openthinclient infraestructure again when you upgrade to 1.0 version. Tell me, do you have any kind of specific package developed for openthinclient? If the answer is affirmative, you will need to backup the openthinclient packages too, just to be able to install them on your new server. The virtual server for the openthinclient appliance is inside windows 2008 server? under a vmware workstation? this is completly not recomended! VSphere would be a great solution instead.

Re: [openthinclient-user] Unable to Connect to Realm
One more idea: If you downgraded to 7_21 on your workstation, you have also to delete all temp files. E.g. if your using Linux it is the directory /.java$ Alexander Stecher -- Dipl.-Ing.

The server is java, so there won't be any problem here.

If this is correct, then open a browser and enter this url: http://localhost:8080 and copy here what appears there. downloading virtual appliance is the best option, of course, because it has all the software installed there inside an ubuntu distro. We have this installation and the configuration is minimal to have it running, but firstly you need to enter to the LDAP just to be sure that it doesn't have any special configuration for your company and also you will need to download user information for your environment (but maybe you could re-create this in the new environment).
