Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

Multifactor authentication for cloud applications

Dell Hybrid Client supports multifactor authentication for Azure Single Sign-on (SSO) using a smart card PIN. The option enables you to log in to the device using a smart card PIN and then access the Cloud storage without entering the credentials again.

Azure AD supports smart card login with on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and Active Directory.

To use the multifactor authentication feature for cloud applications, you must do the following:

• Ensure that you have set up the on-premises ADFS server. For information about how to configure the ADFS server, see the Azure documentation at Microsoft Learn.
• Ensure that you have configured the on-premises AD and specified the ADFS URL using Wyse Management Suite. For information about how to configure the Azure AD settings using Wyse Management Suite, see Connect to Azure.
• Ensure that you have configured the PIN on your smart card. For information about how to configure the PIN for your smart card, see the smart card product documentation on the respective vendor websites.
• Ensure that you have installed the required smart card certificates on Dell Hybrid Client. For information about how to install a certificate using Wyse Management Suite, see Install a certificate.

Example:

1. Specify the ADFS server URL using Wyse Management Suite.
2. Connect a smart card reader to the device powered by Dell Hybrid Client.
3. Tap your smart card on the smart card reader.
4. Enter the smart card PIN to authenticate the user.

   Upon successful authentication, you can directly access the cloud storage from the Dell File Explorer utility on Dell Hybrid Client.
