Off-core connection manager

In order to provide redundant Secure Managed Client ULOS (User Log On Screen)
authentication capability in case the main LANDesk server is offline, an off-core
connection manager can be configured. This Windows Server 2003 system must be
joined to the same domain as the LANDesk server and accessible by all SMC
clients. Once configured, this system will provide backup authentication for SMC
users attempting to login to the ULOS on SMC clients.

To install:
1.

Double-click on Autorun.exe from the SMC 2.0 installation directory.

2.

Click Install SMC Connection Manager.

3.

After the prerequisite checker runs, click Install now. If the prerequisite checker
fails, see “Prerequisites” on page 13 for assistance on installing necessary
components.

4.

Click Next and then Install.

5.

In the Install SMC Certificate window, enter the IP address or DNS name of the
LANDesk server, the location of the PKCS#12 certificate file generated during
the LANDesk server installation, and the password for the certificate file. The
name of the certificate file should be ldms4smc.p12.

6.

Click Install and then OK when the certificate installation is complete. Click
Finish

.

7.

Close the LANDesk prerequisite checker window.

To configure the off-core connection manager:
1.

From the SMC Manager in the SMC Management Console on the main

LANDesk server, right-click on a storage array and select Properties.

2.

In the left pane select Connection manager. The name of the computer you just
installed the Off-core Connection Manager on should appear in the Available
connection managers list in the right pane.

3.

Highlight the computer name and click Add. The computer name will move to
the Connection managers in use by this storage array list.

4.

Click Save to activate your changes.

Image types

There are three types of images used in Secure Managed Client 2.0. Here is a
discussion of each.

Standard image

A standard image is a Secure Managed Client image type that is a full copy of the
base image for each user. See “Creating a single image base image” on page 19 for
information on creating base and user standard images.

Single image

A single image is an image type where the user’s data is stored as a thin
provisioned addition to the common single base image. This image type provides
space saving advantages because the common data for each user is not duplicated
on the storage array. This common data storage also provides some measure of
increased performance at SMC client boot time.
