By integrating DigitalPersona fingerprint readers into the thin client system and using the associated server software, users of IGEL thin clients can identify themselves through their fingerprints when using virtual applications on a Citrix XenApp server. All x86-based IGEL thin clients with the IGEL Linux operating system support the handling of logon data via the DigitalPersona Pro Enterprise Software (Version v5.3 and v5.4).

When used in conjunction with the DigitalPersona U.are.U 4500 fingerprint readers which are connected to IGEL thin clients via USB, the software provides a secure and quick means of authentication on virtual desktops.

In order to be able to use fingerprint readers in Citrix sessions, enable the relevant virtual channel in Device Support.
