Citrix We're extremely fond of buzzwords that pair well with the DoD love acronyms. Today we formally introduce the CACdroid. Hrmmm. This looks like a robot. How about the Android platform and CAC Receiver Mobile SmartCard (CRAMPS). No, This seems uncomfortable. Citrix Receiver Android CAC (C2AR). No, that sounds too military.
OK, we'll just call Receiver for Android. After all, it is the same Citrix Receiver, not a specialized version. It is available for download from the Google Play Store today at low prices FREE . Here is a small demonstration of the technology:
With this release, we support Biometric Associates, Inc. 3000 Mobile Smart Card Reader MP Bluetooth. This drive is already used in the DoD today support some applications, and we are pleased to add Citrix Receiver to the list. The reader has been approved by DISA for use in DoD and meets both the requirements of the NSA, and DISA for secure Bluetooth communication. "The pairs of devices to an Android phone or tablet via Bluetooth. The Citrix Receiver communicates through the stack to transmit the return credentials to a XenDesktop or XenApp frame on the back end, and securely authenticates a user via their CAC powers to a running session in full security in the data center. When coupled with Netscaler to provide FIPS 140-2 hardware encryption level 2, each session is safe, secure, and there's no data residing on Android that could be used to compromise security. If your Android is too far from the Bluetooth player or you, it locks and disconnect the session without a trace of sensitive data.
And while we are all very excited about this release, we 're really pumped because this is part of a larger story that we call mobility. Can you deploy this new receiver automatically to all Androids in your department a few clicks? Can you clear the receiver out Android BYOD when an employee or contractor leaves you? Did you know that the Android receiver is not only an ICA client?
When combined with MDM and EMM technologies such as Citrix and Citrix CloudGateway XenMobile for example, the receiver even more capacity. Not only can connect to desktop and remote applications, but it can also get Android native applications from your app store agency when used with Cloud Gateway. Cloud Gateway receiver is an ICA client in a "killer app" with access to native applications, web and SaaS applications, and follow-me data through Sharefile.
Now, before everyone goes wild trying to make it work in their Citrix environment, you must always check with your IT department to determine if they can stand it. There are chances that they will want to test their environment and bless it before they let you run with it, and this may require a minor modification on their rear end to accommodate Android devices they had probably never needed to do.
the important thing to remember is that it is supported on Windows 08R2, and this means that the backend site should be running XenDesktop 5.6 or later or XenApp 6.5 or later. The first change is that if you've never connected Android device before, you'll probably want to ensure that the androids have their own URL or Web Services Interface PNA. You can create a new site for it, but it must be a PNA site. This site should also be set up with IIS requirements to require SSL and to require or accept client certificates. It is like setting up a PNA site to support smart cards on a Wyse Xenith. In addition, you will also ensure that the IIS server can negotiate client certificates, which is a default setting. This requires that you change the sslcert using the following commands:
netsh http sslcert
http netsh delete ipport sslcert = 0.0.0.0: 443
http netsh add sslcert
http netsh add sslcert ipport = 0.0.0.0: 443 certhash =
These settings should not have a negative impact on other websites or PNA web interface that support the CAC authentication. This is a requirement for Androids now. The second condition is that the middleware BAI must also be present on the Android device as well. This service is called Android PC / SC Lite is available through BAI, but needs 3.5 or higher. Once these requirements are met, then you should be ready for testing.
Support for CAC cards through the Android receiver a compliment to other projects that many of our customers DoD already working on as well. If you are working on pilot projects that use mobile EBT CAC reader, you can work this into your driver as well. If you test it for safe navigation to enable CAC restricted sites, or test by Good For Government, then imagine being able to access enterprise applications as well! That's what Citrix account reps public sector and sales engineers are here for, to help you maximize your investment in these technologies, then please let us know if you want us to help you understand the impact it can have on your plans BYO and mobility. You will see that this is the tip of the iceberg with regard to mobility. Please email me directly and I can connect you with resources to help you plan it.
also know that this is the first in many ads we will do this year around the smart card support. We have many exciting things in the works so keep an eye on our federal Blog greater federal oriented subjects.
