8. GENERAL NOTES
8.1
User name and Password
In the Logon dialog, type your network user
name and password, or a user name and password that has been set up for you
on the FH Web Server. See your
system administrator for more information.
8.2
Server Address
In the Connection dialog, type the host name
of the FH Web Server. If your
client doesn't recognize Windows host names, you can type the IP Address of
the FH Web Server instead.
8.3 User
Authentication
The FH
Web Server first tries to authenticate users on the local
machine, followed by the local machine's domain, and lastly on trusted
domains. You can override this default behavior and specify a specific domain
by typing the domain name followed by a backslash and your network user name
in the User name box of the Logon dialog. For example, NORTH\johnw.
8.4
Client File Access
FH
Web
allows users to access files stored on the client computer and to save files
locally. Client drives are designated with a Client prefix. For example,
Client A (J:), Client C (K:). To open or save a file
locally, select the desired local drive from the drop-down menu of the Open
or Save As dialog box. See your system administrator for more information.
8.5
Client Clipboard
FH
Web
allows client and server-based applications to exchange information using the
clipboard. You can cut and copy information from applications running on your
client machine and paste it into applications running on a FH Web Server, and vice versa. See your system
administrator for more information.
8.6
Client Printing
FH
Web
provides access to client-side printers for users running all clients except
the Pocket PC Client and the unsigned version of the Java Client. Depending
on the server configuration, FH Web
will automatically detect your printer information once you have logged on to
FH Web. If the FH Web Server is not set to automatically
configure client printers or is unable to locate your printer driver, you can
manually configure a printer driver using the Program Window's Client Printer
Wizard. Access the Client Printer Wizard by clicking File | Printers |
Configure Client Printer.
8.7 Session Reconnect
Session reconnect allows
sessions to be maintained on a FH Web
Server without a client connection. If your connection to the server is lost,
intentionally or unintentionally, your session and applications remain
running on the FH Web Server for
the length of the time specified by the administrator. Through the Program
Window, you can disconnect rather than exit from FH
Web, and you will be able to return to your session in the
exact state you left it. To disconnect a session, click File | Disconnect. If
the administrator has not enabled the session reconnect feature, the Disconnect option will not appear in
the Program Window's File menu.
