After the directory file name is determined, the RGS Receiver automatically connects to the remote
computers specified in this file for the named user.
Directory file format
Often, the directory file is a common file for a group, department, organization, or an entire company.
The directory file can manage and administer the remote computer assignments for any number of
users. HP recommends that you save the directory file on a readily-accessible network file share or
mapped drive so that each RGS Receiver can read the file at start-up.
The directory file is a text file with the following format for each local user:
domainName localuser remotecomputer1 remotecomputer2 ... remotecomputerN
where:
●
The domainName on a Windows computer depends upon the environment the currently logged-
in user is operating within. If the user is logged into their domain account, this means they are
logged into an account specified by Microsoft Active Directory directory services. If the domain
account is worldwide\sally, the name of the Windows domain is worldwide and will be
used as the domainName for directory mode.
If the user is logged into the computer with a local account, sally_computer\sally for
instance, the domainName used for directory mode is sally_computer. This typically will be
a computer that is either standalone or part of a workgroup not using Active Directory directory
services. The computer name, such as sally_computer, can be found by executing the
command hostname in a command window.
For Linux users, use UNIX as the domainName.
●
localuser is the name of the local user.
●
remotecomputer1, remotecomputer2 ... remotecomputerN are the remote computers assigned to
the local user, as specified by either a hostname or an IP address.
For example, the following directory file specifies the remote computers for users Sally and Joe in a
Microsoft Active Directory directory services environment:
worldwide sally RC_1 RC_2 RC_3
worldwide joe RC_4 RC_5 RC_6
In the next example, the directory file specifies the remote computers for users Sally and Joe in a
standalone or workgroup environment.
sally_computer sally RC_1 RC_2 RC_3
joe_computer joe RC_4 RC_5 RC_6
In the above examples:
●
Local user sally is assigned remote computers RC_1, RC_2, and RC_3
●
Local user joe is assigned remote computers RC_4 RC_5, and RC_6
If the domain name, user name, or remote computer contains white-space characters, the name can
be enclosed in double-quotes, as follows:
"domain 1" "sally user" "RC 1" "RC 2" "RC 3"
"domain 1" "joe user" "RC 4" "RC 5" "RC 6"
