vmware view security server replacement (APM) with SC auth

Hi

 

I'm wondering if the following scenario could work (Horizon view 6.0):

 

  • we replace the vmware view servers with APM/LTM
  • we perform SC authentication at the APM (DMZ) edge
  • we proxy PCOIP to the virtual Desktop (SC Logon)

AFAIK:

 

  • The view client will cache the SC pin and thus provide a SSO experience to the user for the PCOIP connection (Virtual desktop)

Question: we cannot perform SC auth to the View connection server (as it's done at the APM edge). Is there a way to perform the auth there in a transparent way for the user?

 

Thanks for your inputs

 

Alex

    APM does not support SmartCard authentication for View clients - it's on the roadmap and should be available in 2HCY15.

    I understand both native and browser clients are supported, with the authentication integration thru VCS SAML authenticator option.
