You can use the Libki client to enable Groovix server based reservations and authentication under Windows.
Security, privacy, and configuration are not handled by the Windows Libki or Groovix client. The Libki windows client only provides authentication, reservations, and time management.
- Create an admin user called gxadmin ( microsoft instructions )
- Create an unprivileged user called guser
- the password should not be used for any other accounts
- the security question answers can be random and should be impossible to guess
- Download the Libki client from http://open-sense.com/downloads/windows/Libki_Client_Installer.exe
- Run the installer and click Next
- If you get a "Windows protected your PC" message, click on "More info" and then "Run Anyway"
- Enter These Values ( leave others blank , click "Next" as necessary) :
- Scheme: http
- Port: 80
- Host : ip/hostname of your Groovix server
- Location: ( GX_SITE or default/main if you only have one site )
- Run for all users but this one: gxadmin
- Client Name: ( GX_LABEL for this computer )
- Logout Action: Reboot
- Client Disable Password: ( different password from gxadmin and gxstaff , To bypass Libki Client on user sign in, leave username blank and enter this password and click Log In )
- Click Install
- If desired you can Edit the libki client configuration to change the login screen logo and other parameters
- Create C:\ProgramData\Groovix\
- Download Groovix windows scripts from http://open-sense.com/downloads/windows/groovix-windows-scripts.zip
and extract it to C:\ProgramData\Groovix\Scripts
- Run groovix-setup.bat from that directory AS ADMINISTRATOR and answer any questions
- Enable automatic login on bootup for user guser :
- run netplwiz
- single click on guser in the user list so it is highlighted
- uncheck the "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer" box
- hit "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box
