How to Configure Thinfinity VirtualUI v3.x

Start the Thinfinity VirtualUI Server Manager program to configure the settings.

There are 8 Tabs on the main screen:

    General
    Sessions
    Authentication
    Applications
    Folders
    Protection
    Services
    License

General Tab

Go to the General Tab. Ensure the settings are as follows:
   
    Type = HTTP
    Hostname = *
    Port = 6580
    IP Address = *


Check "Enable external access in Windows Firewall"
Uncheck "Remove Server response header"

These are all default settings.

Note
The Network ID is set automatically. Leave this as the default setting.

Sessions Tab

Go to the Sessions Tab. Follow the steps below:

    Mode: Shared WIndows Session

    Check the button marked "Use these credentials"
    Enter a Windows Username and Password.
    Click "Test" to verify that the username and password are correct.

Notes
Default Server account is ServerName\VirtualUI
e.g. Easy-IP-Demo\VirtualUI

We recommend you create a dedicated Windows User account for ThinfinityUI, with full Windows Administrator rights and a non-expiring password.
The dedicated ThinfinityUI user account can be created locally on the server, or be an Active Directory domain account user.

Important:

When you use 'Share Windows session', the windows session is already started so there is minimal initial delay.
But if you have too many users and all the processes run in the same session, there comes a point where the performance decreases.

If you have many simultaneous web users, choose the other option "One browser per windows session".

With this option there will be an initial connection delay (up to 30sec).
This delay is what it takes for Windows to start the session, it is not a Thinfinity VirtualUI delay.

But each process will run in a separate session, thus maintaining performance.

Authentication Tab

In the Authentication Tab > Methods, settings as follows:

    Uncheck "Windows Logon"
    Check "Allow anonymous access"
    Uncheck "Use standard browser authentication dialog"


Mappings & 2FA can be left blank.

Applications Tab

Go to the Applications Tab. Ensure the settings as follows:

    Uncheck or remove any existing Thinfinity applications if required
   
 Database path = C:\ProgramData\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\VirtualUI\DB\
   
Click Add to configure Easy-IP

Applications Profile Editor

In the Application Profiles Editor, add Easy-IP, with the settings as follows:

    Name = EasyIP
    Virtual Path = EasyIP
    Home Page = leave blank
    Access key = Auto generated
    Icon = Upload the EasyIP icon if desired
    Application Radio Button = Checked
    Default Application = Checked
    Visible = Checked

There are 5 more Tabs under the Applications Profile Editor Tab:

    General
    Credentials
    Permissions
    Restrictions
    Access Hours

Applications Profile Editor > General

In the General Tab, settings as follows:

    Program path = C:\Program Files\Easy-IP\EasyIPClient.exe
    Arguments = leave blank
    Start in the folder = C:\Program Files\Easy-IP\
    Resolution = Fit to browser window
    Browser Rules = leave blank
    Reconnection Timeout = 5 seconds
    Broker Pool = leave blank

Applications Profile Editor > Credentials

In the Credentials Tab, settings as follows:

    "Use Server's account" to use the default username & password
    e.g. Easy-IP-Demo\VirtualUI

or
    Check "Use these credentials" radio button and enter another account.
    Username = Windows username
    Password = Windows password

Note
This user does not require full Windows administrator rights, but needs permission to run Thinfinity and access any folders Thinfinity requires.
We recommend using the same dedicated ThinfinityUI user account as in the Sessions tab, to avoid any permission issues.


Applications Profile Editor > Permissions

In the Permissions Tab, settings as follows:

    Check "Allow anonymous access"
    Group or user names = leave blank

Applications Profile Editor > Restrictions

In the Restrictions Tab, settings as follows:

    Check "No Restrictions"

In the Restrictions Tab, settings as follows:

Leave as default = Access all hours
or    
Check desired access hours

Leave all the settings as the default.

Path: C:\Users\Public\Documents\Cybele Software\Thinfinity\VirtualUI
