Thanks Jerry, this sounds like good advice -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Jerry Karpluk Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:09 AM To: 'General Practice Computing Group Talk' Subject: RE: [GPCG_TALK] Digital signage with Terminal services
USB device support was introduced with RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) V5.2 as found with WIN2003 and WIN XP Pro/Home. It is recommended, if you wish to use USB devices from your local workstation via TS such as PKI dongle then sorry to say WIN2003 Server is your answer. These is a ways to map a USB printer for TS (WIN2000 SERVER). GDI based printers MAY NOT WORK with this suggestion, PCL not a problem. On the remote (off-site) workstation. 1. Add another printer, same printer/model and assign it to LPT3: (local port) - call it HERE_I_AM 2. Share out your original printer that is attached to the USB port. - call it MYPRINTER At the command prompt (Start -> Run -> cmd.exe) type in NET USE LPT3: \\LOCAL_WORKSTATION\MYPRINTER Now, what happens here once connect via Terminal Services, the printer called "HERE_I_AM" will appear as it is assigned to an LPT port. Make sure you have the printer drivers pre-installed on WIN2000 TS Server otherwise mapping will fail. In your TS session, do a Test Page on "HERE_I_AM", the print job is sent back to the printer attached to LPT3 on your local workstation. The NET USE command simply creates a bridge (locally) between LPT3 and your shared Printer called MYPRINTER. Out comes the test page ...

Even if we have an app that allows us to do digital signage of referrals to specialists/pathology using PKI personal keys on USB, where do we put the 'dongle' ( so to speak!)? The only answer I can think of is to put the USB into the server, but that's in another part of the building, and would have to be left in all day.....hardly drastically secure. I suppose the other option is to keep the certs in the server, but have secure password access to your own USB cert ( kind of 2-factor........)? Any other thoughts?
