For Winbind, add the following statement to the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf.
winbind use default domain = true
When you install theHorizon 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.
Smartcard SSO is enabled in Horizon 7 version 7.0.1 or later. In addition, if the smart card redirection
feature is installed on 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 is on the
card, the one in the first slot is used and the others are ignored. This is a Linux limitation.
Note
n
Smartcard supports the following winbind value. Else the smartcard SSO and manual login fails.
winbind use default domain=true
n
When you use Horizon Client for Linux to authenticate the broker with PIV card, which is supported
by Linux desktop smartcard redirection, you must configure the PIV smart card with TLSv1.2 support
to avoid receiving an SSL error. Use the solution described in VMWare KB article
