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. 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 Windows-compatible smart card reader
n
Product-specific application drivers
You must also install product-specific application drivers on the remote desktops.
View supports smart cards and smart card readers that use a PKCS#11 or Microsoft CryptoAPI provider.
You can optionally install the ActivIdentity ActivClient software suite, which provides tools for interacting
with smart cards.
Users that authenticate with smart cards must have a smart card, and each smart card must contain a user
certificate.
To install certificates on a smart card, you must set up a computer to act as an enrollment station. This
computer must have the authority to issue smart card certificates for users, and it must be a member of the
domain you are issuing certificates for.
IMPORTANT When you enroll a smart card, you can choose the key size of the resulting certificate. To use
smart cards with local desktops, you must select a 1024-bit or 2048-bit key size during smart card
enrollment. Certificates with 512-bit keys are not supported.
The Microsoft TechNet Web site includes detailed information on planning and implementing smart card
authentication for Windows systems.
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 .
