Enable username hint for smart card login

You can enable users to specify the account to be used in the Username hint field when you log in to a Horizon View session using a smart card. Enabling this option allows you to use a single smart card certificate to authenticate to multiple user accounts.

To enable the username hint field, do the following:

  1. Log in to the View Administrator Admin console, and click View Configuration > Servers.
  2. On the Connection Servers tab, select the View Connection Server instance, and click Edit.
    The Edit Connection Server settings page is displayed.
  3. Click the Authentication tab.
  4. In the View Authentication section, select the Allow smart card user hints check box.

    You cannot configure the smart card user name hints feature when you set the smart card authentication to Not Allowed.

  5. Click OK.
    On the ThinOS client, log in to a Horizon View session with a smart card. In the VMware Horizon View broker sign-on window, enter the username and the smart card PIN to authenticate the user.
    NOTE: If the user name does not match the smart card certificate user, an error message No user could be found for your Certificate is displayed.
