Another question in this topic guys, if I may.

When ThinOS 9 is released and clients can authenticate directly to Citrix Cloud (e.g. MYCORP.cloud.com) how this would work from security point of view? I mean, I don’t want users to use 2FA every time they log in (just username & password), while MYCORP.cloud.com is a publictly available website. Would there need to be another security mechanism in place like certificates?

What I need to achieve it that users log in to their apps via Wyse clients exactly the same way as they do know when using on-prem Storefront/Citrix farm (just username & password) BUT use MYCORP.cloud.com instead or any other PUBLIC Storefront server.

The reason is that I have to install (Wyse) thin clients in the location where there is no VPN or any other on-prem infrastructure. Let’s say I ship a client to someone working from home and that person connects to Citrix apps just with username and password.

 

The requirement is to replicate what can currently be achieved with Windows 10 and Intune where on first user logon, the laptop is joined to Azure AD and users log in to Windows with their Azure AD credentials WITHOUT VPN as they would if they were in the office.
If I cannot achieve this with Wyse clients and Citrix, I will have to go with Windows 10.
