The Center for Authentic Science Practice in Education (CASPiE) is a consortium of schools introducing a research experience into undergraduate course laboratories. As part of this effort a measurement laboratory has been created with research-quality instrumentation mated with autosamplers to facilitate high sample throughput. All instrumentation is capable of remote access so that experienced students will be able to collect their own data outside normal laboratory hours. For remote data processing we are using Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server software to broker simultaneous users. We are also making each instrument computer a Citrix server to enable remote operation while preventing student access to the computer desktop. This lecture will focus on procedures used for authentication, authorization and scheduling.
