Configure Microsoft Azure Multifactor authentication with VMware Unified
Access Gateway
Prerequisites
Configure the Unified Access Gateway (UAG) settings and Azure Multifactor authentication settings on the server side. For
more information about configuring the server-side settings, see the Microsoft Azure MFA with VMware UAG documentation at
docs.vmware.com.
Steps
1. Start the ThinOS client.
2. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Remote Connections.
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
3. On the Broker Setup tab, select VMware Horizon from the Select Broker Type drop-down list.
4. In the Broker Server field, enter the Unified Access Gateway FQDN.
5. Click OK.
6. On the Azure Sign In window, enter the Azure account.
7. Click Next.
8. Enter the password to log in to the session.
NOTE: ThinOS does not support Single Sign-On (SSO) to Azure MFA with VMware UAG.
Configure the VMware integrated printing settings
About this task
The VMware Integrated Printing feature allows you to print to a local or network printer without installing additional printer
drivers in the remote desktop. The USB redirection feature enables you to print from a remote desktop using a USB printer that
is connected to the local client device. For each printer configured locally on ThinOS, you must map the printer to the VMware
Blast desktop. ThinOS Blast printer mapping is equivalent to VMware client printer redirection.
Currently ThinOS supports only PS printer in blast session since VMware has removed Thin print support from VMware Horizon
8.0 and VMware Horizon Client 2006.
To map your printer, do the following:
NOTE:
LPT printer is considered as an example to explain the printer mapping scenario. Printer mapping in ThinOS works
similar to LPT for LPD and SMB printers.
Steps
1. Power on the ThinOS client with the VMware View broker configured in the Broker Setup tab.
2. Set the connection protocol as All Supported from the Connection Protocol drop-down list.
3. Go to Global Connection Settings > Session, and retain the Exclude printer devices check box selection. This option is
selected by default.
4. Plug in a USB printer to the ThinOS client terminal.
5. Go to System Setup > Printer.
The Printer Setup dialog box is displayed.
6. In the Printer Setup dialog box, do the following:
a. From the Select Port drop-down list, select LPT 1.
b. Enter valid printer name and printer identification.
c. Select the Enable the printer device check box.
d. Click OK to save the configuration.
7. Click the Options tab, and do the following:
a. Set LPT1: <Printername>as default printer.
