SafeGuard Data Exchange - VMWare View and WIndows 7 Credential Provider

nardo88

We have users that connect to Windows 7 VDIs using Wyse P20 thin clients and VMWare View.  What they are wanting to do is use a USB drive that is plugged in to the thin client.  The issue is with the credential provider in Windows 7. 

It seems VMWare view chooses by default the non-Sophos credential provider, so the user is presented with a Sophos login window after logging in to Windows.  If I use group policy to eliminate all but the Sophos credential provider, the user must log in twice.  Once to VMWare View and then again to Windows 7.  Maybe this is a question better suited to VMWare, but do you know of a way to have VMWare View choose the Sophos credential provider by default?

    Hi nardo, i'm new in SafeGuard data exchange, but have a similar issue with you, are you using trusted domain in your environment, in my case .. my pc joint to main domain and my user login using account from trusted domain, the authentication window will appear before and after first LogIn.

    But if user login using the main domain account, the authentication window just appear once

    may be SGX expert can clarify this .. thanks .. and sorry if it's not help

    That simply isn't going to work, there are significant software engineering challenges and isn't supported right now, you might be able to get SOME integration but there are things that simply won't work correctly.  You will want to talk to your sales rep and have him talk to the SafeGuard product manager to get the status of any development on this.

     Hi Nardo,

     I am running into this situation today. We are using Windows 7 VDI and have SGN version 7. Have you found a solution to this? In our test environment, I log in and it logs me in using the Windows Credential Provider instead of the Sophos Credential Provider. Just wanted to know what your solution was if any?
