Configuring the VDI environment
In a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment, a Broker agent is a software entity that enables you to connect a
published desktop. The Broker agent facilitates the VDI environment to securely and efficiently manage the centrally hosted
desktop environments.
Dell Hybrid Client supports the following VDI connections, both on-premises and on the cloud:
● Citrix ICA
● VMware Blast, PCoIP, and RDP
● Dell RDP
NOTE: Citrix Workspace App and VMware Horizon Client are released as optional add-ons for Wyse 5070 devices with 16
GB storage capacity. By default, these add-ons are not installed on these devices. Citrix RealTime Media Engine (RTME)
is not part of Dell Hybrid Client build. You can download the Citrix RTME package from the Citrix website and install the
component.

Dell Hybrid Client supports Single Sign-On (SSO) to VDI applications. It enables you to log in only one time with one set of
credentials to get access to all your applications.
● Citrix SSO—SSO is supported only when using a Citrix StoreFront connection. SSO is not supported on Citrix PNAgent
connections. SSO feature is enabled when you log in to a remote session from the local device. However, SSO is not
supported for applications inside the session.
To use the SSO feature, you must enable the following options:

Citrix Studio. For information about the steps to configure Citrix feature for Pass-Through Authentication feature,

support.citrix.com.
○ HTTP Basic—This option must be enabled in Store Service > Manager Authentication Methods on Citrix Studio.
● RDP SSO—RDP supports SSO. You must create the RDP connection with FQDN, and the device time must be
synchronized with the domain time of the RDP server. SSO is supported from Windows 10 1607 and Windows 2016 onwards.
However, SSO is not supported for applications inside the session.
To use the SSO feature, you must enable the following options:
