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.

  • Create an unprivileged user called guser
the password should not be used for any other accounts, you will need to enter it again in the next step
the security question answers can be random and should be impossible to guess
  • 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)
Run for all users but this one: gxadmin
Client Name: ( GX_LABEL )
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
  • Create C:\ProgramData\Groovix\

and extract the files 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
    • verify guser as the user name and enter the password twice
    • hit "OK" at the bottom of the dialog box
  • Restart the computer
