Remote Access

DigitalPersona AD Server includes support for remotely accessing DigitalPersona AD Workstation and DigitalPersona AD Kiosk clients through Windows Terminal Services (including Remote Desktop Connection), and through various Citrix products.

When DigitalPersona AD Workstation or DigitalPersona AD Kiosk are accessed remotely, the fingerprint reader attached to a local Workstation or Kiosk can be used to access all DigitalPersona AD Workstation or DigitalPersona AD Kiosk features on the remote computer. See Level of detail in event logs and the note below.

When using DigitalPersona AD Workstation or DigitalPersona AD Kiosk remotely, the remote computer is locked to prevent interruption of your session.

When completing a Terminal Services session, use Log Off to close the session and use Disconnect or Shutdown, or the Close Window icon to leave your session active.

For additional information on Citrix deployment, see Integrating Citrix Support.

Note: By default, the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is not enabled on any Microsoft operating system version. The use of Microsoft Remote Desktop entails opening a port in your firewall and thus creates a security vulnerability. For more information on this vulnerability, see the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS05-041 located at https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/security/ms05-041.aspx
