Click the "VirtualUI" tab to access the VirtualUI app session settings:
In Desktop Manager we can only use the "One Browser per Windows Session" mode. We also need to declare credentials of a particular user for the app to be executed. Or have it create or predefine allowed users for it. Users need to be added to the "Remote Desktop Users" group in Computer Management:
One Browser per Session options
Options | Description |
Allow running third-party applications | Check this option to enable Thinfinity VirtualUI to run directly under a Windows Interactive session. |
Use these credentials | Check this option to enable Thinfinity VirtualUI to run under a specific Windows account. |
User name | Enter the username for the Remote Desktop Services session you want Thinfinity VirtualUI to run applications under. |
Password | Enter the password for the Remote Desktop Services session you want Thinfinity VirtualUI to run applications under. |
Test | Test the credentials entered to verify that the username and password are correct and can access RDS. |
Create Users on demand | This option lets VirtualUI create local users to run the applications, you can customize a prefix for these. IE: Prefix = Usertest , then VirtualUI creates Usertest1, Usertest2, etc. |
Use predefined users | This option lets you define pre-created users instead (local or domain). Users need to be created manually for this. |
Once there, go to the tab ‘Log on’, and enter the information of the user:
Predefined users The predefined user's option, will allow adding existing users of your domain or local server.
You can either add them from a custom list or users with a prefix.
Custom List
In the custom list, you can add users individually by clicking on ‘Add’, or importing them from a list.
The list must be a txt file, following these formats:
For local users:
.\user:password
Computer\user:password
For domain users:
Domain\user:password
Users with prefix
This option is similar to “Create users on-demand” only that you must create the users upfront.
Bear in mind all the users must have the same password.
VirtualUI will start the first session using the number 1 and gradually increase based on the number of connections/users
For instance, if you configured the prefix “TestUser”, the first session VirtualUI will attempt to start is “TestUser1”.
Create users on-demand This option will let VirtualUI create the users. Each time VirtualUI requires to open a new session, it will create a user following the “Username prefix” you have established and it will make this user part of the group you specify in the box “Add to group”: If you set the prefix “TestUser”. VirtualUI will create the user “TestUser”, “TestUser2”, “TestUser3, and so on. Bear in mind that if you need to use domain users along with this option, you will have to specify the domain in the prefix, for instance, “Domain\TestUser”. You will also need to configure VirtualUI’s service to logon as a domain user, this user must have permission to create domain users. To update the service’s logon user, open the services panel (services.msc) and go to the properties of the Thinfinity VirtualUI’s service:
