[THIN] Re: Selective display of apps on WI w/ 2 factor

Whoa, I just thought I was at a Citrix Certification exam after that one...

 

I don't know of any way to be that selective with WI, there very well might
be a way, but if so, I don't know what it is.  Have you thought about using
Virtualization software on your MF box like Microsoft virtual pc/server.
That way you could build two MF boxes on one piece of hardware, silo out the
standard apps on one MF box and present them to one WI box, and silo out the
sensitive app to the other server and present it to the other WI server?
Just an idea...

Subject: [THIN] Selective display of apps on WI w/ 2 factor

 

 

Here's an interesting challenge.

 

Client environment is 1 - MF XPs with 1 WI/CSG.  They have an app that needs
2 factor authentication to comply with security reqs.    But they have other
apps that don't require 2 factor.  They are using RSA for 2 factor with
WI/CSG.  Being that they are cost sensitive, they want to keep only 1 MF
server and allow both standard logons for normal apps, and 2 factor logons
for the sensitive app.

 

The trick is, how can we allow both types of logons and still restrict
access to the sensitive app to 2-factor only?  The 2-factor option is
universal in WI, on or off.  So we thought about having two WIs, one with
normal logons and another with 2-factor enabled.  But users will still be
able to access the sensitive app from either WI.

 

Any ideas on how to be selective about which apps show up in WI?

 

Thanks,
