4.5.8 Considerations for multiuser remote desktop connections to JP1/AJS3 - View

With the default settings, only one user can use JP1/AJS3 - View via a remote desktop connection. If the multiuser remote desktop connection function is enabled, multiple users can use JP1/AJS3 - View via remote desktop connections.

The following figures show overviews of cases where the multiuser remote desktop connection function is disabled and where it is enabled.

Figure 4‒10: Overview of a case where the multiuser remote desktop connection function is enabled

If the multiuser remote desktop connection function is disabled, the entire JP1/AJS3 - View system uses the common environment settings and log file. However, if the function is enabled, the environment settings and log file are managed separately for each OS user. Because each OS user uses different files, an OS function can be used to set access permissions for these files so that the files of one OS user cannot be viewed by other OS users.

The following table describes the JP1/AJS3 - View functions that can be managed for each OS user when the multiuser remote desktop connection function is enabled.

Table 4‒13: Functions that can be managed when the multiuser remote desktop connection function is enabled

Function			Description
Login screen	User name		A login history is displayed for each OS user.
	Host to connect
Preferences dialog box	Auto login#	Auto login	These items can be set for each OS user.
		User name
		Password
		Host to connect
	Troubleshooting#	Trace level
		Max. log file size
JP1/AJS3 - View information log			Log data is output to a different folder for each OS user.

The multiuser remote desktop connection function can be used regardless of the version of JP1/AJS3 - Manager to which you are connecting.

If the multiuser remote desktop connection function is enabled, the same custom jobs and custom event jobs can be used by the entire system or different custom jobs and custom event jobs can be used for each JP1 user.

For details about how to enable the multiuser remote desktop connection function, see 11.2.7 Allowing multiple users to concurrently use JP1/AJS3 - View via remote desktop connections in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide. For details about how to use different custom jobs and custom event jobs for each JP1 user, see 11.2.8 Allowing each JP1 user to use different custom jobs and custom event jobs in the JP1/Automatic Job Management System 3 Operator's Guide.

Cautionary note

To enable the multiuser remote desktop connection function, use a different JP1 user for each OS user. Each OS user can use only one session of remote desktop connection to JP1/AJS3 - View at a time.
