Connect to an RDP session using TS Gateway with WebSocket
WebSocket provides a mechanism for fast, secure two-way communication between a client and a server over the web
using HTTP(S). The WebSocket protocol enables two-way communication between the browser-based applications and the
servers that do not rely on the multiple HTTP connections. The protocol consists of a handshake followed by basic message
framing, layered over Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The data is transferred immediately over a full-duplex single socket
connection, allowing messages to be sent and received from both endpoints in real time.
Prerequisites
Enable Terminal Services Gateway (TSGW) and WebSocket protocol for the applications and desktops from the RDS server.

Logging in to a VDI session using a smart card
Dell Hybrid Client supports the smart card authentication to log in to the Citrix or VMware session using a web browser. It
enables you to use a smart card to authenticate the user, and launch the respective VDI sessions. Smart card authentication is
supported on Citrix and VMware sessions.
Prerequisites
● Ensure that you have enabled the smart card login option and defined the smart card type on Wyse Management Suite,
for connecting to a Citrix session. Also, ensure that you configured the smart card authentication option on the StoreFront
server. The smart card authentication is not applicable for PNAgent connections.
● Ensure that you have configured the Smart Card Authentication on Horizon Connection Server, for connection to a Horizon
session.
Steps
1. Turn on the device powered by Dell Hybrid Client.
2. Log in as AD user.
3. Connect a supported smart card reader to the device.
4. Tap your card on the smart card reader.
5. Enter the smart card PIN to authenticate the user.
Dell Hybrid Client authenticates the user and starts the VDI connection.
