Hi

I am looking for some help with:

1) Securing the browser session: I am using the mozilla that is included
with Solaris 10 (SPARC to support the ICA client). There doesn't seem to
be a "full-screen kiosk" switch to mozilla, but it seems much of this
can be accomplished with preference settings. I am looking at a kiosk
implementation by the Mozilla Development Group at
https://mozdevgroup.com/clients/bm/.

We use the Mozdevgroup Kiosk in our Library and find it works really well. The guys at Mozdev are also very helpful.

I do however suggest you install a separate copy of Mozilla for it.
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.7.13

You will probably want to get rid of the CDE borders as this can cause issues with Java Pop-Ups.
Add the following 3 lines to :

/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/dtsession/Dtwm

IDtwm*focusAutoRaise: False
Dtwm.keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer
*.clientDecoration: none

This will keep any popup windows requiring an action to be kept in focus (at front of all windows) until the action is taken.
(This solution is from Sun support)
I'm not aware that this is a problem with Gnome (SJD)

If you need other settings there are a few schools of thought on this list. I use the Prototypes to save a copy of the .mozilla configuration in the users home directory. Others use various methods....


2) ICA client features: I have no experience with the ICA client. My
initial problem is that the sessions are opening in small
windows--800x600, maybe smaller. The web page is currently accessed by
users on Windows PCs and the same sessions open full screen for them.
I'm guessing I need to set some system-wide preferences, e.g. open full
screen by default, with a configuration file. Does anyone have advice on
this?

We no longer use the Citrix Client. When we were using it we set up a Prototype again so that the configuration is saved into the users home directory. That way you can configure the client the way you want it and the settings are saved for each user.

To use Prototypes: Setup a folder in:
/var/opt/SUNWut/kiosk/prototypes/<application name>

Configure you application as a user then drop the configuration file ($HOME/.mozilla ) into the directory you created and restart your Sunray Client (server)
