Starting and Ending an HP VUE Session

An HP VUE session starts when you log in. The HP VUE Session Manager takes over after Login Manager recognizes your login and password.

Session Manager provides the ability to "manage" sessions—to remember the state of your most recent session and return you there the next time you log in.

Session Manager saves and restores:

The appearance and behavior settings—for example, fonts, colors, and mouse settings.
The window applications that were running—for example, your File Manager and Text Editor windows. Certain types of applications can't be saved and restored by session manager. For example, if you start the vi editor from a comand line in a Terminal Emulator, Session Manager cannot restore your editing session.

To log into an HP VUE session

Select the Name box and type your login name. Press Return or choose OK.
Type your password. Press Return or choose OK.

If Login Manager does not recognize your name or password, choose Clear and start over.

If your previous session was an HP VUE lite session, then you must select HP VUE Session from the login screen Options menu before logging in.

Once you've logged in, Session Manager starts a session:

If this is the first time you've logged in, you'll get a new session.
If you've logged in before, your previous session will be restored.
If this is the first time you've logged into HP VUE 3.0, but you previously used HP VUE 2.01 on this system, your previous HP VUE 2.01 session will be restored.




	NOTE: Your system administator may have configured to use only HP VUE Lite sessions. If this the case, logging in will automatically use HP VUE Lite. Similarly, if your previous session was an HP VUE Lite session, and you do not explicitly select a session type from the login screen options menu, logging in will automatically use HP VUE Lite again.

To log out

Choose the logout control on the Front Panel.
Figure 2-2 Use the log out control (1) to end the session.
Or, choose Log out from the workspace menu.

When you log out of a regular HP VUE session, Session Manager saves information about your current session so that it can be restored the next time you log in.

Cancelling a Session. Cancelling a sesson ends the session without saving any session information. It also provides a way to log out if, for some reason, the Front Panel and Workspace Menu are not working properly.

To cancel a session, you must stop the X server. In HP-UX systems, use Shift Ctrl Reset. Use Shift Ctrl Pause for PC-101 keyboards.

To change your password

Display the Personal Toolbox by choosing the Tools control in the Front Panel.
Double-click ChangePassword. This displays a window with a prompt for your old password.
Supply your current password and press Return.
In response to prompts, enter your new password twice.

To use a session in a different language

Select the language using the menu displayed from Language in the Options menu on the Login Screen
Log in.

The default language for your system is set by your system administrator. The Options menu lets you access other languages. Choosing a language in the Options menu sets the LANG environment variable for your session. The default language is restored at the end of the session.
