Configure the Identity Automation
Identity Automation authentication is an enhanced sign-on solution which uses proximity card technology to quickly and securely
access a remote session. You can tap the proximity card (the same card that is used for building access or identification
purposes) to log in and log out of your session. Using Identity Automation authentication, you do not need to enter the
username and password each time you want access the session.
Steps
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Remote Connections .
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Authentication tab, and select the Authentication Type as Identity Automation.
3. In the Identity Automation Server field, enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for your Identity Automation Lynx
server. By default, port 443 is used. However, you can specify a different port by adding a colon and the port number to the
end of the FQDN. For example, server1.mycompany.com:5000. In this example, the specified server FQDN and port 5000
on that server are used.
4. In the API Key field, enter the server API key.
To obtain the API key, do the following:
a. Log in to the Lynx server web application.
b. Go to Settings > API.
c. Click Copy to copy the API key.
5. In the Configuration ID field, enter the configuration ID number that you want the thin client to use. The configuration ID
number is associated with a group of settings that you can specify. Log in to your Lynx server as an administrator to specify
a group of settings and obtain the configuration ID number.
6. Click OK to save your changes.
7. Connect a supported RFIDeas proximity card reader to the thin client.
8. Restart the thin client.
