Public computer in Windows Kiosk mode accessing PiVision

Hi,

I would like to set up a "Public" computer inside our office that can access PiVision from Windows Kiosk mode (no windows login necessary). The computer is on the same AD as the pi-system but I do not want to login to PiVision using a AD-mapping account since the password is too complex and also it should not be reviled since the environment is restricted.

My first approach was to get the webbrowser to remember the AD login credentials but that doesn't seem to work when you are in windows kiosk mode. (Is there a way to solve this?)

I'm now thinking of using the old piusers group and create a demo user with read access to some pi tags. The password would then be the same as username and it would be easy to login to PiVision again if someone has closed the browser. The problem is that i don't know how to "enable" the piusers group, is it even possible to use the old piusers group in parallell to windows mapping?

There might be a completely different and better approach to solve my topic that I haven't thought of. I would appreciate if someone shared their experience in similar cases or helped me on the way with the pi Users group.

 

Thanks

Best regards,

Pär

  • Yes you are correct and that is the way it is set up currently. The problem with this is that whenever the machine is rebooting I have to log on with the AD user again and I don't want to share the password which means I have to login myself. We have several offices that would like to have a public computer for PiVision, that is why I want to be able to run windows i Kiosk mode so that the login is done automatically at every reboot.
