                      openthinclient management
                        When renaming a hardware type used by a thin client, the save and rename complete successfully, and an error message still appears.
                        Active Directory Integration
                          In the openthinclient Manager, the display names of the users are shown instead of the logon names. Ensure the user ID for read access credentials uses ASCII characters to allow successful thin client login.
