Force View Client to close after logoff or disconnection

Hi All,

We've recently switch over to new Thin Clients running WES8 & View Client 3.5.2 but have come across an issue with is a security concern for us.

 

When I user only has access to 1 View Pool, the View Client will automatically close after logging of or disconnecting from the virtual desktop. The thin client will 'reset' & require user authentication again. This is the behaviour we need.

However, when a user has access to multiple View Pools, when they logoff or disconnect from the virtual desktop it returns to the Pool selection window, still authenticated from earlier. This means if they lock their session & switch to a new desk, the session on their old desk will drop back to the pool selection window & anybody can just double click to get logged in to a desktop as the other user; creating a pretty big security risk.

 

With earlier versions of the view client, the behaviour for both scenarios (1 pool vs multiple pools) was the same & the client would full close at logoff or disconnection.

 

We need a way to force the 3.5.2 (and future) clients to close whenever a virtual desktop session is closed or disconnected; hopefully there is a registry setting or similar that we can use?

 

Thanks in advance

Jason
