Installing and Configuring ProveID Embedded on HP Thin Clients
You install Imprivata ProveID Embedded using an HP add-on. You can install the add-on directly to one thin client. Or you can use the HP Device Manager (HPDM) to push the installation to multiple thin clients in the enterprise.

-
Start the thin client and right-click the desktop.
-
Select Administrator/User Mode Switch and enter the administrator password.
-
Open the Control Panel by clicking the main button in the right corner of the Taskbar and selecting Control Panel.
-
Navigate to the System page.
-
From the left tab, select Imprivata Setup.
-
Select Enable Imprivata Appliance Mode.
-
Enter the fully qualified domain name of the appliance in the Imprivata Server box and click Apply.
You will be logged off from administrator mode and the agent will be downloaded and started.
If the enterprise is using a self-signed SSL certificate, installing the HP add-on automatically downloads the SSL certificate from the Imprivata appliance to the thin client.
If the enterprise is using a SSL certificate that is signed by an external CA, you must upload the SSL certificate to the thin client device. For more information, see Installing and Configuring ProveID Embedded on Linux Thin Clients.

Step 1: Create the Task

In the HPDM Console, select the HP Thin Pro 7 operating system tab.
-
On the Task Templates pane, double-click _File and Registry. The Template Editor opens.

NOTE: Enter the fully qualified domain name of the appliance. This value must match the DNS name listed in the self-signed SSL certificate of the appliance.
-
mclient commit root/Imprivata
-
mclient apply root/Imprivata
-
-
Leave the default values Execute After Reboot: No and Wait: Yes for all of the commands and click OK.
