Does PocketCloud for Android work with VMWare View 4.5 server?
I am wondering if PocketCloud for Android will work with VMWare View 4.5 server via SSL. I am considering switching to an Android phone but need a way to remote in to work. Cisco 3000 VPN seems to be a no go on Android, but PocketCloud seems promising if it will work.
Do you know if this is a planned feature as this is probably a fairly standard configuration. We use different domain user names from the RSA user names as an added level of security since an intruder would need to know both user names and the standard VMWare View client handles this scenario fine. Also, it would be nice if there was an option to prompt for the user name and password at connection time since storing the user name and password on the device represents a potential security issue.
Ok, so I got a copy and ran in to another issue. I am able to connect to the secure view server, however I have a different RSA username and secret than I have for the domain user. I am able to enter either my RSA ID username as the username and get access to the first part of the authentication process or use my Active Directory user name to get past the second. This works when on the settings screen when I can change the username and password boxes during the same session, but does not work when I try to actually make a connection to the server to access the client. Is there any way that I can enter a different ID for the RSA authentication than is used for the domain authentication?
I am able to create a new view connection, but it does not work when I try to actually use the connection. To get the domain and desktop saved I had to change user names mid configuration. If I start out with my RSA username and then select the domain, it prompts me for my RSA password which I put in and it accesses the available domain listing. If I then try to access the desktop drop down, I receive an error. If I change my user name at this point to my domain user and put in my domain password, I can get the list of desktops. The problem is that when trying to actually connect to the session, I do not have an opportunity to switch usernames and so it either fails the initial connection if I put in my domain user id or fails the desktop login if I put in my RSA user id.
Yes, I can log in from the Windows client by entering the url of the secure view server and trying to connect. It prompts me for my RSA id and code, then it prompts me for my active directory user name and password. Lastly, it prompts me the system I want to connect to.
