Hi Tom, I did post a message recently about it. A proof of concept in an hospital here, and the client needs to have the U3 enabled USB mass storage to work, *with* the encryption enabled (sigh!). So we are currently looking to find a way to make it working flawlessly, and to be honest, we are not close from a solution yet...
Is anybody out there has any hints for us on this?

These "U3-enabled" USB sticks are starting to bite us in a big way. Apparently, they are becoming more and more popular. For those of you not familiar with the technology (http://www.u3.com/smart/), these sticks apparently have two partitions: the first partition is a small simulated CD-ROM containing windows autorun stuff, including a special little "launcher" app, and the second partition is the normal large filesystem for storing your stuff. Apparently, sometimes there is also some kind of little encryption app on the "launcher" partition which controls access to the filesystem on the "storage" partition. Well, these things are playing hell with our Sun Ray uttsc sessions. Sometimes we see both partitions and sometimes only one. Besides users being confused by the lack of their "normal" windows autorun behavior, some are not able to see their files at all. We can't seem to get completely consistent behavior in testing with some of these devices. I suppose that each vendor's U3 config may be a little different. sigh. what a proprietary mess to make of something as ubiquitous as USB mass storage... I know I've seen at least one recent post about this stuff, but I don't think there were any responses. Maybe these things are becoming popular enough that the issue will become more common... cheers, -tom _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://node1.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://node1.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
