    SILK Using the Remote Desktop Scheduler Logging into SILK Using Mozilla Firefox Browser - SILK Quick Reference Guide Overview As of October 21, 2015, there are two methods of logging into the SILK Scheduler: LBLESD Citrix Login Interface or the new LBL Remote Desktop User Logon Interface. Citrix Login Interface is used to provide a secured entry into SILK applications. Citrix requires a license for each person logging into using SILK. The Remote Desktop Login Interface (for SILK - RD SILK Scheduler) is another type of secure login method for accessing SILK. LBL has purchased a single license for this product that allows an unlimited number of client users. LBL Information Systems and LBL Network are promoting the use of the Remote Desktop Login Interface for SILK because of: • Security control • Quicker logon response • No idle time limits • No limit to the number of users logged into SILK • Uses the same security – Domain, User ID and Password • SILK works as it always has • And works with web browsers: IE (10 and up), Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome Logging into SILK using RD SILK Scheduler To log into SILK using the RD SILK Scheduler you will need to know the Domain, your User ID, and password. For most SILK users the domain is SIS. The user id and password is the same that you currently use for SILK. During your first time using this URL address, you may encounter several Firefox browser security windows before you are allowed to log into your SILK district.
