- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
○ Domain Pass-Through—This option must be enabled in Store Service > Manager Authentication Methods on
Citrix Studio. For information about the steps to configure Citrix feature for Pass-Through Authentication feature,
see How to Manually Install and Configure Citrix Receiver for Pass-Through Authentication article (CTX133982) at
support.citrix.com.
○ HTTP Basic—This option must be enabled in Store Service > Manager Authentication Methods on Citrix Studio.
○ Smart card authentication—This option must be configured on the StoreFront console. This option enables you to use
a smart card to authenticate user from initial login to the Citrix VDI session. When using the smart card authentication
for Citrix SSO, ensure that you have configured the PIN on your smart card, and installed the required smart card
certificates on Dell Hybrid Client. 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.
● 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:
○ Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard—This option must be enabled on the server side. For information about
the steps to enable Windows Defender Remote Credential Guard, see the Enable Windows Defender Remote Credential
Guard article at docs.microsoft.com.
○ Allow log on through Remote Desktop Services—This option must be enabled in the local security policy. You can
access the Local Security Policy window using secpol.msc.
● VMware SSO—Single Sign-On (SSO) is not supported on VMware connections and File Type Association (FTA).
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.
NOTE: Dell RDP does not support Multifactor authentication.
Configuring Citrix
Citrix offers a complete virtualization solution, where all applications and resources are deployed on a centralized server, and
published to remote devices. The Citrix Workspace app client installed on Dell Hybrid Client allows you to interact with the
application GUI, while all the application processes are performed on the server.
This section provides information about how to configure a Citrix connection and other Citrix features using Wyse Management
Suite.
Dell Hybrid Client supports the following Citrix features that you can configure using Wyse Management Suite:
