When you install the Horizon Agent, you must first disable SELinux or enable permissive mode for
SELinux. You must also specifically select the smart card redirection component because the component is
not selected by default. For more information, see “install_viewagent.sh Command Line Options,” on
page 43.
With smart card redirection enabled, SSO is not implemented if the user logs in with the smart card. That is,
after logging in to the Connection Server instance with the smart card, the user needs to type the smart card
PIN to log in to the Linux desktop.. In addition, if the smart card redirection feature is installed in a virtual
machine, vSphere Client's USB redirection does not work with the smart card.
Smart card redirection supports only one smart card reader. This feature does not work if two or more
readers are connected to the client device.
Smart card redirection supports only one certificate on the card. If more than one certificate are on the card,
the one in the first slot is used and the others are ignored. This is a Linux limitation.
