Main features in TS Agent 1.0.2

TS Agent makes it possible to transparently authenticate users of the remote desktop services Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops.

Users are authenticated through exchanges between a dedicated service on the SNS firewall and TS agents (SN TS Agent) deployed on RDS and Citrix servers.

RDS and Citrix servers use a unique IP address for all their users. With TS Agent, users can be distinctly identified: the SNS firewall identifies every user that authenticates with the server's IP address by a dedicated source network port range that the TS agent assigns to this user (network ports higher than 1024). In this way, filter rules based on the authentication of these users can be applied.

For more information on installing and configuring the TS Agent, refer to the technical note Installing and deploying the TS Agent.
