We've managed this with a spare iMac:<div><ul><li>I think we used Safari, made sure it remembers sessions and stores account info (or another browser, either way the browser rebuilds the session during startup, seems to work for us).</li>
<li>When we start the Mac it automatically logs in and during login it automatically starts the browser.</li></ul><div>From there all you have to do is make sure that the kiosk user has proper privileges and that the dashboard is configured.</div>
</div><div><br></div><div>I should think that something similar should be pretty much doable for any OS, but you'll have to depend on the browser capabilities.</div><div><br clear="all">-- Bart<br>

We're planning to set up a display in one of the crew areas that displays<br>
their current projects.<br>
<br>
To goal is to have it completely automated; the computer gets turned on<br>
and it auto-logs in to a default user, runs a browser, and brings up a<br>
default RT dashboard.<br>
<br>
Is anyone aware of a plugin that would allow RT to log in automatically as<br>
a particular user?<br>

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year,<br>
but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If<br>
I quit, however, it lasts forever.<br>
