Products concerned: SNS 4.7 and later versions, SN TS Agent 1.0.2 and later versions
The SN TS Agent transparent authentication method is intended for multi-user authentication in VDIs (Virtual Desktop Infrastructures).
This method relies on exchanges between a dedicated service on the SNS firewall (TSD service) and TS agents deployed on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS).
Every user that authenticates with the server's IP address is identified by the firewall with a dedicated source network port range (network ports higher than 1024) that the SN TS Agent assigns.
Further on in this document:
- Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops servers will be referred to as "Citrix servers",
- Microsoft Remote Desktop Services servers will be referred to as "RDS servers",
- SN TS Agent can also be referred to as "TS Agent" in reference to its name in the SNS web administration interface.
