I work for a University and am trying to pitch the whole xVM/VDI SunRay concept. I have an evaluation setup of VDI 3.0 up and running, but I'm not sure that the functionality exists for what I want to do.

Here's what I am trying to accomplish:

Whenever a user sits down at a SunRay, they are prompted for their username/password, which will then be authenticated through our AD and if they have no previous configuration or desktop/pool assignments, they will receive a Windows desktop from a dynamic pool. Otherwise, if they have multiple desktops assigned, they will be given a list to choose from.

The VDA kiosk app almost accomplishes this, but the authentication is not done on the front end. It simply asks for the username/password, but really only uses the username to discover the assignments. Thus it would be possible to steal other users sessions.

We could accomplish this with SmartCards, but we have far too many users and it would be a nightmare to try and issue a card to every user and manage all of that information.

Has anybody done something similar or have any ideas on where I can start looking? If I need to develop my own Kiosk apps for this, does anybody have a template I could start from?

My servers are all running Solaris 10u6, by the way.

Thanks for any help!
