Abstract: Thin client session management is described. In embodiments, a thin client device senses a usage context for the thin client device, and a process analyses the usage context to automatically select a session for the thin client device to connect to. Embodiments describe how the sensed usage context can indicate a location of the thin client device, movement of the thin client device, swapping of thin client devices or an identity of a user of the thin client device. Embodiments also describe how the thin client can be automatically authorized to access a selected session, based on the usage context. In other embodiments, a thin client device comprises a sensing device that can indicate a usage context for the thin client. Embodiments describe how the sensing device can determine that the thin client device is located in a docking station, and identify the docking station.
