Windows XP Professional
Easy Login on Windows XP Professional supports GINA (Graphical Identification and
Authentication) chaining, allowing custom 3rd party login mechanisms to be integrated into RGS.
Single Sign-on does not support chaining of 3rd party GINA modules.
For example, a 3rd party fingerprint reader will typically install a custom GINA module. The
GINA module will allow the user to be authenticated through their standard username/password
mechanism (because the GINA modules are chaining) or with their fingerprint. The fingerprint
reader would be physically attached to the Local Computer but would be logically connected to
the Remote Computer using remote USB. If Easy Login is used, only a single login step is required
—the fingerprint reader will provide the credentials for logging into the Remote Computer.
