Establishing An Rgs Connection Using Standard Login; Figure 2-10 Sharing Between Workstations; Figure 2-11 Standard Login Process - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

The one-to-many configuration is ideal for collaboration because each user can interact with the applications
running on the Remote Computer (subject to RGS policies which arbitrate which user is able to provide keyboard
and mouse inputs to the Remote Computer at any particular time). As one user interacts with the applications on
the Remote Computer, all other users can view these interactions. See Section 5-5, "Collaborating," for details.
In the previous example, it was assumed that the primary user and the local users were all physically separate
from the Remote Computer. This, however, doesn't have to be the case. RGS works equally well sharing between
workstations (see Figure 2-9).

In Figure 2-9, the primary user is directly logged into the Remote Computer using its attached keyboard, mouse
and monitor. In other words, the primary user is physically present at the Remote Computer, while local user 1
and local user 2 are physically separate from the Remote Computer. RGS can be used by local users 1 and 2 to
connect to the primary user's desktop

2-9 Establishing an RGS connection using Standard Login

In normal operation, users are required to authenticate twice when establishing an RGS connection from a Local
Computer to a Remote Computer. This is the Standard Login process—the two steps are:
1. The first authentication step is from the RGS Receiver to the RGS Sender—this is called authenticating the
RGS connection. The dialog for this authentication step is generated and displayed by the RGS Receiver on
the Local Computer.
2. The second authentication step is when logging into or unlocking the Remote Computer desktop session—this
is called logging into the Remote Computer. The login or unlock dialog is generated by the Remote
Computer, and is displayed in the Remote Display Window on the Local Computer.
Figure 2-10 shows the two-step Standard Login RGS connection process.
