Terminal Services

Once past the portal page, you are now logged into the CHA environment. You will now connect into a virtual desktop which will provide the services you are used to having onsite.

MacOS (using HTML5):   (also works for Windows)

When at the CHA portal page, look to bottom of that page and click on the link ending: (HTML5 Access).

Once at login screens:

• • • For username: your normal network name, which you use onsite

    • For password: enter only your normal network password, as if you were onsite

Windows:

When at the CHA portal page, click on: “CHA-TS01 Microsoft Terminal Services” (middle of page, under "Terminal Sessions")

Accept or run any program download/install/update apps (they are safe).

Once at login screens:

• • • For username: your normal network name, which you use onsite

    • For password: enter only your normal network password, as if you were onsite

    • then click the right-arrow, next to Password field

You will then be brought to a CHA-standard desktop. 

Note: you are not actually on your office/cubicle/floor computer.  You are now working on a “virtual workspace”: a computer session being hosted on servers in the CHA datacenter.  This provides you with the same experience as if you were on a computer somewhere in CHA, but with the added benefit of 24x7 availability (onsite computers are often in use by others, waiting on updates, or powered off…).
