Proxy Module for Silent Client Deployment on Thin Terminals
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The operation of cloud desktops on thin terminals is limited without administrator rights, and the complexity of control operations is increased due to differences in operating systems, leading to cumbersome processes and high error probabilities in installation, deployment, and maintenance.
Innovation Solution
A service authentication processing method and apparatus that uses a proxy module to authorize administrator rights and provide adaptation interfaces, enabling control operations on clients running under normal user rights, thereby simplifying installation, upgrade, uninstallation, and configuration processes across various operating systems.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual installation is performed on each thin terminal, then the client can be installed, but the workload is huge and error probability increases
Solution Approach 1:
The thin terminal automatically performs client installation through a pre-installed proxy module that receives installation packages from the management platform and executes silent installation without user intervention, eliminating manual installation workflows
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy module is pre-installed on the thin terminal before the actual client installation process, enabling it to automatically receive and execute installation packages without requiring manual user intervention during the installation process
2Productivity
If uniform background issuance is implemented, then deployment efficiency improves, but compatibility across different operating systems deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy module acts as an intermediary between the management platform and various operating systems, receiving unified installation packages and translating them into OS-specific installation commands, thereby maintaining compatibility across different operating systems while enabling uniform deployment
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy module is designed with multi-functionality to support multiple operating systems including Windows and Linux variants, enabling a single unified deployment approach to work across diverse thin terminal environments through adaptive installation strategies
3Ease of manufacture
If administrator rights are required for installation, then installation control is improved, but user right limitations cause installation failure
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy module is pre-installed with administrator rights before the actual client installation process, enabling it to execute installation packages with sufficient privileges without requiring the end user to have administrator access during the installation process
Solution Approach 2:
The proxy module automatically manages the installation process using its pre-obtained administrator rights, performing silent installation without requiring user intervention or administrator account input, thereby enabling installation success under restricted user right scenarios
4Manufacturing precision
If different installation strategies are used for different operating systems, then installation accuracy improves, but process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The proxy module serves as an intermediary layer between the unified management platform and diverse operating systems, automatically detecting the target OS type and selecting appropriate installation strategies, thereby maintaining installation accuracy while hiding process complexity from users and administrators

AI summary
The present invention discloses a service authentication processing method and apparatus. In the above method, a service authentication request from a sending end is received; and in a case that the service authentication request is successfully authenticated through a proxy module, an administrator right is authorized to the sending end through the proxy module, and/or an adaptation interface for performing a control operation on a client is provided to the sending end, herein the proxy module is a first application program running on the client, and the first application program is used for acquiring administrator right of the client and/or used for adapting to an operating system used on the client. With the technical solution provided by the present invention, the workload of maintenance personnel is reduced, the error probability of manual operation is reduced, and the operation and maintenance efficiency is improved.
