IAFI Workflow Configuration Options
Four IAFI configuration options are available based on the required Imprivata workflow used on the IGEL endpoint.
Follow Imprivata Policies and Workflows | Authentication Only (Auth Only) | Fast User Switching (FUS) | Kiosk Mode |
|---|
Description | Description | Description | Description |
Requires VDA policy setup on the Imprivata appliance (user and computer) Utilizes the VDA workflow policies like the PIE agent to automate the workflow Does not use an IGEL preconfigured session like Authentication Only workflow Supports (on-prem) Citrix, Horizon, or MS RDP only Provides a chooser to display multiple apps or desktops if applicable
| Imprivata appliance is used to authenticate the user but does not use the VDA user/computer policies to automate the workflow. IAFI securely retrieves user credentials from the Imprivata EAM appliance and authenticates the user into a local (IGEL) preconfigured session of a supported VDI client.
| Like the PIE agent, this utilizes the Imprivata Computer Policy FUS settings to automate the workflow. Keeps a virtual app (Epic) hot while switching users on the endpoint
| In this mode, IAFI runs like a service to provide virtual channel support for Imprivata authentication devices All other IAFI modes are disabled when kiosk mode is enabled.

| Native integration with local IGEL virtualization apps Support for commonly used roaming apps or desktop workflows Required for Microsoft AVD / Windows 365 Cloud PC workflows Can also be used with Citrix, Horizon, or Remote Desktop apps.
| Utilizes an IGEL app preconfigured session with a generic user account to launch the virtual app. Can be used for Citrix, Horizon, Microsoft AVD, or RDSH sessions Supports the same FUS computer policy options as the PIE agent Supports the Imprivata Persistent App Workflow (requires VDA licenses for users).
| Supports virtual kiosks (Imprivata Type 2 agent) and Epic Only workflows Can be used for Citrix, Horizon, Microsoft RDP, AVD, or Windows 365 Cloud PC’s Does not require USB redirection of supported Imprivata proximity card readers
