Section 4: Implement Advanced Authentication Methods

Which three prerequisites should a Citrix Engineer consider when configuring Smart Card authentication in a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment?

Choose three
  • A Install the vendor's Smart Card middleware on the virtual or physical machines running the Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) that provide user's desktops and applications.
  • B Enable pass-through with Smart Card authentication to ensure Smart Card readers type, middleware type and configuration, and middleware PIN caching policy permit this.
  • C Enable a two-way trust relationship with the StoreFront server and the domain.
  • D Ensure that the public-key infrastructure (PKI) is configured appropriately.
  • E Ensure that Domain Passthrough authentication for the Store is on the StoreFront server.
Explanation

Citrix requires (1) a properly configured public-key infrastructure so certificates can be validated end-to-end, (2) the smart card vendor's middleware installed on the VDA machines that host the user's desktops/applications so the card can be used inside the session, and (3) pass-through with smart card authentication enabled and confirmed compatible with the smart card reader type, middleware type, and PIN-caching policy in use. These are the prerequisites Citrix documents for Smart Card deployments in Virtual Apps and Desktops environments.
