ThinOS 9.2/3 - Belgium eID - Smart Card redirection
Hello,
We are currently using Dell Wyse Thin OS.
We tested versions 9.1 9.2 9.3.
We have 3040 / 5070 / 5470 Mobile & AIO models.
We started with the Wyse Management Suite console version 3.x. Currently we have version 4.0.
We use for the VDI part, VMware Horizon 8 (2206).
In Belgium, we have an identity card which requires a driver: https://eid.belgium.be/en
We noticed that Dell Thin OS does not have this driver and therefore, when we use VMware Horizon Agent (Smart Card Redirection Features), it does not work because the eID card cannot be read by the Thin OS (local).
So we tested USB redirection. This worked during our tests in version 9.1.
Since the latest ThinOS updates? the Smart Card no longer goes up in our Horizon session.
We configured the GPO part of Horizon with this procedure: https://i0.wp.com/www.ituda.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/USBSmartCardRedirection.jpg?w=1246&ssl=1
For the USB redirection part in ThinOS, we have configured this: https://i.ibb.co/RQSy6dN/Sans-titre.jpg
Could you help us in configuring USB redirection?
Are we doing something wrong?
This is very blocking for us and in our choice of Thin Clients for the future.
Thank you for your help.

If you're using PCoIP, have a look at my post from yesterday:

Hopefully this will help.

Have you tried:
VMware View Agent Configuration/View USB Configuration/Client Downloadable only Settings > 'Allow Smart Cards' on 'Default Client Setting' rather then Override? ours is on Default and it works on Blast too.

For 'Include Device Family' we have left 'Not Configured' and it still works.
There are two policies where we've enabled smart cards:
VMware Horizon Client Configuration > View USB Configuration > Alllow Smart Cards (Enabled)
VMware View Agent Configuration > View USB Configuration > Allow Smart Cards (Enabled)

Hello,
I had the same problem, for me the trick was to activate the Smartcard-redirection on the Horizon-Agent on the master image.

Hi Recla,
It's enable in my screen capture.
I can retry with ThinOS 2211.
What is your version ?
For me , it's work with this option on ThinOS 9.1.6 : "Mapper les SmartCards".
USB Redirection is enabled but I don't add the PID/VID of the smartcard reader in the configuration.
SmartCard redirection is enabled on the Horizon Agent too but it's slow for read datas...
Thank you !

Hello, salut,
I am also from Belgium and I have same problem.
I have a cherry cart reader / keyboard.
And no way to make smart card working with Belgian Eid.
I tryed all you already wrote here.
No luck. I waited the new thinos version relased december. Still not working.
What is you magical config please ?
Tryed with blast and pcoip.
It works fine with thinos 8.6. Not with 9.1.
I speak french as you.
thank you !
( I don't see any peripherals in device manager. )
and the more strange thing, if I use an old eidviewer 4.0.2. 131 it reads my card ! Nobody can understand that ...
