Smart Card Authentication Requirements
Client systems that use a smart card for user authentication must meet certain requirements.
Horizon Client for iOS supports using smart cards with remote desktops that have Windows 7, Windows
Vista, Windows 8.1, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2008 R2 guest operating systems. For Microsoft RDS
host-based desktops and applications, the Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows Server 2012 R2 operating
systems are supported. VMware recommends using an iOS 6.1.3 or later operating system. The baiMobile
301MP USB Smart Card Reader and the following smart cards were tested:
n
Oberthur ID One V5.2a DOD CAC card
n
Gemalto TOPDLGX4 DOD CAC card
n
ActivIdentity 64K V2C Java Card
Each client system that uses a smart card for user authentication must have the following software and
hardware:
n
Horizon Client
n
A compatible smart card reader
n
Product-specific application drivers
You must also install product-specific application drivers on the remote desktops or Microsoft RDS host.
Users that authenticate with smart cards must have a smart card, and each smart card must contain a user
certificate.
In addition to meeting these requirements for Horizon Client systems, other View components must meet
certain configuration requirements to support smart cards:
n
For information about configuring View servers to support smart card use, see the topic "Configure
Smart Card Authentication," in the View Administration document.
n
For information about tasks you might need to perform in Active Directory to implement smart card
authentication, see the topics about preparing Active Directory for smart card authentication, in the
View Installation document.
Configure Smart Card Authentication for Mobile Clients
Configuration tasks include connecting and pairing the card reader with the mobile device and setting the
smart card removal policy.
