Planning for Microsoft Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame

SecureLogin supports Microsoft* Terminal Server and Citrix* Corporation MetaFrame remote application environments.

When using SecureLogin with a remote desktop, no special configuration is required in either environment, but when planning for single sign-on you need to consider the following:

• Where the application is being run from.

  To enable applications that are run from the server to use single sign-on functionality, install SecureLogin on the Terminal or MetaFrame server. Terminal Server and MetaFrame only send keystrokes and screen images to the PC (workstation). This process means that SecureLogin installed on the local computer is unable to determine which applications are running remotely.

  When SecureLogin is installed on Terminal Server, SecureLogin can see the applications' Windows and Terminal information natively and thus perform single sign-on.

• Whether single sign-on through the Initial Citrix/Terminal Server GINA is required.

  SecureLogin includes a Citrix/Terminal Server module. This module automates the initial login to the Citrix/Terminal Server GINA by providing the user's details from the local machine. This process requires the installation of a login extension on both the client and the Terminal and MetaFrame servers.
