ThinLinc Description

ThinLinc is a software used to centralize applications utilizing Server Based Computing, a so called terminal server. Most enterprises and organizations have different needs and systems. ThinLinc is designed with this in mind, and the system architecture allows for an existing infrastructure to be maintained while the new architecture is gradually introduced to the organization. The system can be launched along side the existing systems for a gradual migration to a new platform. The idea is that the computing infrastructure should adapt to the processes instead of the opposite. ThinLinc will act as a link or gateway between the existing systems, and the product can be introduced on a step-by-step basis within the organization. In this manner, different parts of the organization with different needs can be handled in a systemized manner. ThinLinc can also be used to further consolidate the server park with a more centralized solution in order to save costs. By centralizing the server park with ThinLinc, other possibilities for cutting down on expenditures are opened, mainly through less need for on-site support for local servers, but also by offering employees a more generalized workplace through the technology of thin clients. The architecture is flexible in order to handle larger organizations with "autonomous" office applications or functions, with maintained management and security. The system can be supplemented with an automatic system for installation, configuration and administration of the client hardware, for instance through the use of PXE. It's also possible to create different user groups. In this way departments with special needs are easily administrated in the case of adaptations or user-driven application development. Support for the following application types: · Microsoft Windows (with Windows Terminal Server, Citrix Metaframe or via Windows emulation software such as CrossOver) · UNIX (X11 protocol) · Linux (X11 protocol) · HTML · Java Support for the following protocols: · Microsoft RDP · Citrix ICA · X11 · HTTP, HTTPS · SSH, OpenSSH · OpenSSL · Telnet VT, ANSI · VNC, TightVNC Support for the following authentication mechanisms: · LDAPv3 · Novell eDirectory · NIS · Microsoft Active Directory · UNIX passwords · HTTP, HTTPS · One time passwords using Nordic Edge OTP · All PAM-based authentications.
