I have a couple different devices from Dell, a Wyse 5030 zero client and a Wyse Dx0D, however neither work well for CAC authentication to my View 6.2 server. I need to find a device that will support CAC authentication to the View connection server, SSO to automatically log the user into their desktop, and then in-session access to the smart card for applications that run.
The 5030 zero client will connect, but I have to turn off the Smart Card login feature on the virtual desktop otherwise the smart card reader is not visible and their is no access to the CAC card. The problem with that is the user enters their PIN to authenticate to View, and then they land on the Windows desktop login screen with a username/password prompt. If they disconnect/reconnect the reader, they will be presented with the option to log in using their smart card, but that's really hokey and not a very acceptable solution.
On the Dx0D thin client, if I try to log in with the CAC, I get an immediate SSL error stating "no cipher match" That sounds like a familiar problem, however I can't find anywhere to check to see what ciphers it's using, what's available, etc. Their product support page is terrible, and the only way I can download any updates for the firmware is by buying a service contract.
Does anyone have any experience using a zero/thin client to support CAC authentication in their View environment and if so, have you been able to find any devices that work without having to deal with these issues? I'm dying to find a viable alternative here.
