Dell Hybrid Client version 2403 Administrator's Guide

Multifactor authentication for VDI applications

Dell Hybrid Client supports multifactor authentication for Citrix and VMware using a smart card PIN. This option enables you to log in to a VDI session using a smart card PIN. This feature is supported from Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5 onwards.

As prerequisites, you must do the following:

• Ensure that you have configured the Citrix StoreFront server for smart card support on the StoreFront console. For information about how to configure the smart card support in Citrix Workspace app for Linux, see the Citrix documentation for Citrix Workspace app for Linux at docs.citrix.com.
• Ensure that you have configured the Horizon server for smart card support. For information about how to configure the smart card support in Horizon Administrator, see the VMware Horizon documentation at docs.vmware.com.
• 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. Configure the VDI server infrastructure to use a smart card.
2. Log in to Dell Hybrid Client.
3. Connect a smart card reader to the device powered by Dell Hybrid Client.
4. Tap your smart card on the smart card reader.
5. Enter the smart card PIN to authenticate the user.

   Upon successful authentication, the Citrix session is directly launched on Dell Hybrid Client.
