That first link seems to be EXACTLY what I was looking for. It describes what 
effect I want with our configuration.

My only question: Based on the article I read, I only need to add tokens I want 
to redirect to the second server to the configuration file... I assume this 
means that if I want it to be a normal VDI token, that I just don't configure 
it? Also, will VDI users balance between all the available hosts in their FOG 
with this set up?

Jonathan, 

You seem to be a candidate for AMGH. This would allow your Sun Ray with a card 
to redirect to the VDI server and then return to the OEL server on pull. 

I have your setup in reverse, documented here, though over simplistic.

There are other things you can do, but you start getting away from 
supportability. Have a look at this for fun ;)

Hello,

We're currently running both a VDI 3.2 environment (on Solaris x86) for our VDI 
clients, and a plain SRSS 5.1 server on OEL 5 for kiosks/Linux desktops. 
Currently, both of these systems are separate (different configs served to the 
DTUs, etc). Also, we are using the normal GDM login and not kiosk mode on the 
OEL 5/kiosk server.

I'm looking at a way to better integrate these systems so that a VDI user can 
sit down at one of the plain kiosk terminals, insert their card, and get their 
VDI desktop. I've been trying to think of a way to make this happen, but can't 
come up with anything I like while keeping things completely separate. OVDC 
doesn't seem to install on OEL5, SGD isn't an option since not all VDI users 
have access and we use 2 factor auth for it. I also can't figure out a way to 
get the normal VDI client (connecting to the existing DB cluster) to run under 
Linux (I figured that would be a long shot, but a nice solution if it worked).

Another possible solution would be a kiosk session definition on the VDI side 
of things that would connect users to the OEL 5 server (all of the DTUs would 
connect only to the VDI environment). The only thing with that option is 
connectivity to the kiosk server - VNC, XDMCP, or something else?

Has anyone implemented something similar and could offer some insight on this?
