Remote Access

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

When DigitalPersona LDS Workstation or DigitalPersona LDS Kiosk are accessed remotely, the fingerprint reader attached to a local Workstation or Kiosk can be used to access all DigitalPersona LDS Workstation or DigitalPersona LDS Kiosk features on the remote computer. See Redirect fingerprint data and the note below.

When using DigitalPersona LDS Workstation or DigitalPersona LDS 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
