HP ThinPro 4.4 Administrator Guide
NOTE: To log in to the VMware Horizon View Manager administrator server with a smart card, the
local smart card driver must be installed on the client. Once logged in to the remote host, the smart
card will be passed to the remote host using a virtual channel, not USBR This virtual channel
redirection makes sure that the smart card can be used for tasks such as email signing, screen
locking, and so on, but might cause the smart card to not show as a smart card device in the
Windows Device Manager.
NOTE: The remote host must have the proper smart card drivers installed.
