[XenApp 7.6 - USB Smartcard Reader Automatic Redirection not working]

Hi All

We have enabled all the required Citrix Policies and Receiver preferences to enable USB Redirection for our USB Smart Card Readers, and this works if you unplug and plug back in when the Citrix session is active. But we want to have it automatically connected at launch time and not have to perform this manual intervention.

 

I can confirm that from the same end client when connecting to the previous 6.5 farm the redirection does work and the Digital Identity Agent does prompt for the user PIN - it's only when connecting to the new XA7.6 farm that it does not automatically work.

 

As I say all related Citrix policies which were implemented in 6.5 and in 7.6 and it does work if you unplug and plug back in with the session launched. 

 

The specific identity software is NHS Digital Identity Agent only difference is it's v1 on 6.5 VDA but on 7.6 we upgraded to the latest v 2.1.2.16 client 

 

It's as though unplugging and plugging back in kicks something into action on the citrix session, any ideas?

 

Regards

Nicholas

 

 

[XenDesktop CitrixDesktopLock]

Hi

Citrix Desktop Lock is a great tool for repurposing old tin, unfortunately it only allows for the launching of one desktop. We have users who need access to multiple desktops, Citrix - pls can you update the software to enable the ability to provide the user with a list of published desktop from which they can select which one to launch?

 

We need to use CitrixDesktopLock as we also need the pass through of CTRL+ALT+DEL which is provides.

 

I'm sure the community would love such an update.

Regards

Nik
