Hello everyone, I'm currently using SRSS 4.2 on multiple networks,
served by a variety of SPARC and x86 boxes running Solaris 10.
Something I've wanted to implement but haven't yet had/taken the time
was to set up a couple of displays that we have running that use the Sun
Rays. Both are Java applications. One is fed data via IBM's WebSphere
MQ, the other is a clock showing multiple time zones of interest. The
applications are purely for display - there is (almost) no user input.
"Almost" meaning that someone may change the settings to alter what's
being displayed but in general, it's left alone for months at a time.
Presently we have to manually log in to a dummy user account and start
up the display in question, and while we don't have to run through that
process often, it'd be nice to have things set up so we don't have to at
all.
The Sun Ray networks in question *mostly* serve up interactive
sessions. There is one Sun Ray dedicated to each of the two
aforementioned applications - those two units really aren't used for
anything else - but the remaining clients serve login sessions.
I've been aware of kiosk mode for a long time now but have always had
too many other things on my plate to investigate :-). Is kiosk mode the
right thing to look at when you have a single client on a network that
you want configured in this special way? Is there a better option?
Where's the best place to start (after the mailing list that is) for
finding information on setting it up (my apologies if this is an
annoying question, I did try to find information but so far have only
been led to broken oracle documentation links)?
Thanks for any help.
