A.4.3 - Publishing the Thin Client Name
The thin client name may be registered with the DNS server. This can be done by the DHCP server
or by the thin client itself.
a) By the DHCP Server
Important
: the DHCP server must support the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) function.
To register the thin client name by the DHCP server:
- Enable the DHCP protocol
- Set "DNS Server Update" to "by the DHCP server"
Because the DNS server is updated by the DHCP server the information about the type ("direct" or
"direct / reverse") and the result (success or failure) of the DNS update is not returned to the thin
client.
b) By the Thin Client
The thin client can register itself. The thin client behavior depends on the value of "DNS Server
Update" option:
-
By the terminal
: the thin client updates the DNS server only if the DHCP server is agreed.
-
By the terminal (forced
): whatever the DHCP server information, the thin client updates the
DNS server (use carefully).
According to the option 'Update Type', the thin client updates "direct (A)" or "Direct (A) and Reverse
(PRT)" DNS server records.
For a "Direct (A)" update, two entries are added in the DNS server database:
- A "Host" type entry, containing the thin client IP address,
- A "Text" type entry, containing the thin client signature.
Note
: the DNS server will be updated only if the thin client name is a full name: ended by a DNS
domain (i.e. FQDN).
For a "Reverse (PRT)" update, one entry is added: a "Pointer" type entry, containing the thin
client
’s full name.
Note
: the signature allows the thin client to check its "Host" type entry. If the check fails (i.e. no
associated signature or wrong associated signature) the thin client
’s behavior during the DNS
server update depends on the value of the set-up parameter "
Action on Error
" (see Chapter 3.1):
-
Display an error
: a red dialog box is displayed. The user may reboot the thin client or enter
the set-up.
-
Continue the update
: the entries ("Host", "Text" and "Pointer") are overwritten.
-
Cancel the update
: the DNS update is aborted but the thin client is available for use.
The type ("direct" or "direct / reverse") and the result (success or failure) of the DNS update are
returned to the thin client and are available in the thin client set-up. See chapter 9.5.
