Internet Explorer can also be used to access a terminal server, using the Web client software. Client software is available for Windows 3.11 and later, as well as Macintosh and UNIX. There are a wide variety of clients that can use Terminal Services. Because all processing is actually occurring on the server, the user can run applications that are impossible to install on her local system.
If Office XP is installed on the terminal server, the user can open and use the application. Through Terminal Services, she can connect and be presented with a Windows Server 2003 desktop. For example, a user running an older version of Windows might need to use Office XP, but she doesn’t have the minimal requirements install it.
All processing is occurring at the server, which is being interacted with through the client software.Ī benefit of Terminal Services is that users can run programs that they might otherwise be unable to use.
When working in a session, the user is essentially working at the server. Updated screen images are sent back from terminal server to the client system. Keystrokes and mouse clicks generated by the user at the client are sent to the terminal server. The user connects to the terminal server using client software installed on their machine, logs on to the Terminal Services session, and is presented with a user interface (normally a Windows Server 2003 desktop). This makes the user’s machine act as a terminal emulator (similar to the concept of a dumb terminal). Terminal servers allow remote access to applications using thin-client technology. ShinderTechnical Editor, in MCSE (Exam 70-293) Study Guide, 2003 Terminal Servers If a connection is broken or dropped by accident, the user should reestablish the connection and exit normally back to the login prompt and then exit the application used to connect to the terminal server session. It is imperative that any session with the terminal server be properly terminated (exit the session and return to a login prompt before terminating the terminal server session) in order to ensure the security of the IDS sensor. In these cases, the next connection to the terminal server port will be provided access directly to the IDS sensor console without requiring authentication. Another possible source for this problem may be when the application connected to the terminal server is terminated prematurely and the connection is dropped. Typically, this occurs when the physical connection to the sensor is disrupted (such as a line drop or disconnect). This leaves the terminal session open and accessible without any authentication.
If a terminal session does not receive a proper exit signal, the terminal session may remain open.
