Hello,
I’m trying to get USB smartcard reader to pass through and become available in a XenApp 6.5 session. The smart card reader contains a certificate for secure authentication to a banking site (ANZ Transactive to be precise).
When I insert the USB key, Wyse recognises it as “Found a new device “CCID reader” on port 2″, however when I log into the XenApp published desktop I don’t see it.I’ve confirmed that the passthrough works on a Windows 7 PC with Citrix Receiver running so I know I have my Citrix policies configured correctly.
I’m running 7.1_033 of WTOS
Is this passthrough not possible?
Thanks!
Do I simply need to add this line?
SessionConfig=ALL Smartcards=yes
Hi,
I added that entry to my wnos.ini
After restart I receive the following info in system information
6: USB: Found a new device “CCID reader” on port 2
17: Accessing system profile …
18: Checking Software ftp:/wnos/VL10_wnos …
19: Contacting SNTP [10.32.0.1] …
20: This card is not supported
21: ATR: 3b 7d 94 00 00 80 31 80 65 b0 83 11 48 c8 83 00 90 00I contacted support and they suggested the following:
You will need to specify a command in your existing INI file to redirect the device.
During the detection when you plug the USB SC in, under the event log, it will come up as Found new device….” and also will give you a device detail reading, showing the PID, VID etc.
Note this down.
Then add the following command to your existing INI fileDevice=VUSB ForceRedirect=(specify the device details that you have obtain from the above) Type=HDX
Reboot your terminal so that the new commands take effect.
Plug your device in, boot up the terminal and connect to your session.This brought up the same message and with either config I am not able to see the smartcard in my session.
For me it looks like the card reader is recognized and mapped in the session. But only the card itself is not supported.
Which card are you using?CG
Hi,
Success! The smart card is a GEMSAFE by GEMALCO. I had to install the card reader software on my Citrix XenApp server and then it was able to read the card and subsequently ANZ Transaction was able to read the certificate.
Currently I’m using the command Smartcards=yes in the wnos.ini file. As I have other smartcards I need to setup should I use this option instead of the ForceRedirect command suggested by support? These cards will be used as secure authentication to external sites and not as domain signin cards.
Thank you!
