Hello,
We are trying to successfully setup a number of thin clients connecting
to a Windows 2003 server with terminal services. We have layered Citrix
on top and would like the users to be able to connect to Ingres DBs.
We've been informed that all of the users needs to be in the admin
group which is a security nightmare. They are successfully doing that
now but there are only a couple of users. We would like to deploy this
to over 100 users in the very near future. Having everyone in the admin
group would be totally unacceptable.
Please let me know if you have successfully set up Ingres/Windows
server terminal services/Citrix and how you dealt with your user
logins/groups. There has to be a number of shops with this setup and
using it successfully.
Thank you !

Is your Citrix application on the same machine as your Ingres DBMS?

We have OpenRoad 4.0 applications on Windows-Terminal-Servers (with
Citrix and without Citrix).

I remember that it was *not* necessary to put the users into Windows
admin group.

If terminal server and DBMS are on two separate machines: create a
global vnode entry on the terminal server that points to DBMS server.
Use netutil for this.

If terminal server and DBMS are on the same machine: database owner (in
our case: ingres) will be able to connect to your Ingres DBs without any
configuration. All other (operating system) users have to be added as
Ingres users with accessdb.
