To provide a solution for this problem and a more general case, flexVDI supports registering a terminal to a Terminal Policy automatically by connection name. It works in the same way as virtual web servers. First, create a different DNS entry for each authentication domain that points to your platform's IP address, e.g. cstmr1.myprovider.com
, cstmr2.myprovider.com
, ... Then, create an authenticated Terminal Policy for each of these names, replacing dots (.) with underscores (_), e.g. cstmr1_.myprovider_.com
, cstmr2_.myprovider_.com
, ... Finally, configure them with the appropriate authentication parameters (LDAP server, branch name, bind user, ...). Whenever a new terminal connects to the platform and it is not registered yet to any Terminal Policy, flexVDI will first look for a Terminal Policy which name matches the host name that was used to establish the connection. So, provide each of your customers with the DNS name that represents their authentication domain:

This model works for non-authenticated Terminal Policies too, so you may have vdikiosks.myprovider.com
, and have your kiosk devices connect to the platform using that name address to be automatically registered with a non-authenticated Terminal Policy named vdikiosks_.myprovider_.com
. However, take into account that, in this case, any user may access a non-authenticated desktop just knowing the right domain name.
