Greg,
Just some thoughts . . .
How can you plan to utilize the Pnagent when you don't plan on
installing or configing the Web interface anywhere in the site?
The default setup of the Pnagent works off the URL of a WI site to pull
it's available app list. If the site doesn't have a WI server somewhere
. . then you'd need to manually config the config.xml for the Pnagents.
Why bother with that when the WI doesn't cost anything other than server
power to install and run? (it also auto configs the config.xml for you
based on what you define in the WI admin site). Aside from all of this .
. . WI 3.0 supports multiple MF farms.
When faced with a similar type of environment for one of our clients, we
setup their XP embedded thin terminals to autologin locally (workgroup
no domain) and then auto launch a Kiosk mode IE window that goes direct
to their internal Web interface site. This is the first and only login
the end user ever sees for accessing applications.
Kiosk mode IE = "Iexplore.exe -k Http://WIsite.local.domain";
I like the Pnagent a lot personally, but I'm not sure that it's the
correct solution for your design here.

Subject: [THIN] Kiosk Workstation
I would like to create a kiosk with just Windows XP and Program
Neighborhood 8.0 on the machine. The Workstation will be stand alone
and not be a member of a domain. I would like to have the user just
click on PN and and be prompted for his username/password and domain
to logon to his application set and then have all his application
icons be created and then he can just log onto the applications
without being prompted a second time when loading the app. I guess the
basic question can I passthru the username/password and domain from
logging onto the application set to the published application on the
Metaframe server? The customer also has multiple farms so I will need
to create multiple application sets (one to each farm).Web Interface
is not an option (they don't want it). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
