Identity Automation
Identity Automation authentication is an enhanced sign-on solution which uses proximity card technology to quickly and securely
access a remote session. You can tap the proximity card (same card that is used for building access or identification purposes)
to log in and log out of your session. Using Identity Automation authentication, you do not have to enter the username and
password each time you want access the session. From ThinOS 9.1.3112 onwards, the Identity Automation is independent of the
ThinOS firmware and is a separate package.
Configure the Identity Automation
Prerequisites
If you are running ThinOS 9.1.3112, ensure that you have installed the identity automation package.
Steps
1. From the desktop menu, click System Setup > Remote Connections .
The Remote Connections dialog box is displayed.
2. Click the Authentication tab, and select the Authentication Type as Identity Automation.
3. In the Identity Automation Server field, enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for your Identity Automation Lynx
server. By default, port 443 is used. However, you can specify a different port by adding a colon and the port number to the
end of the FQDN. For example, server1.mycompany.com:5000. In this example, the specified server FQDN and port 5000
on that server are used.
4. In the API Key field, enter the server API key.
To obtain the API key, do the following:
a. Log in to the Lynx server web application.
b. Go to Settings > API.
c. Click Copy to copy the API key.

number is associated with a group of settings that you can specify. Log in to your Lynx server as an administrator to specify
a group of settings and obtain the configuration ID number.
6. Click OK to save your changes.
7. Connect a supported RFIDeas proximity card reader to the thin client.
8. Restart the thin client.

Identity Automation support matrix
The following are the supported features:
● Authentication to Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon, and Microsoft Remote Desktop Services by tapping an
enrolled proximity card.
● A user can enroll their own proximity card by tapping it on the connected proximity card reader. The user is prompted to
