Windows Terminal Server, roaming profiles
BankID Security Application is designed to work in most ”thin client” environments with Windows Terminal Server, RDP, Citrix or VMWare Horizon, also systems with roaming profiles.
Due to the vast number of possible configuration variants, it is not possible to guarantee that a particular configuration works, and the bank support organisations cannot always support installation and configuration for this kind of systems.
BankID on card
Works in most installations, provided that:
The card reader drivers can be installed in the terminals/thin clients.
The system is configured in such a way that users are allowed to connect local USB devices (e.g. card readers).
BankID on file
BankID on file is more dependent of the server installation.
Citrix environments
The program supports BankID on file and BankID on card in Citrix environment. We can't test all variants, so it’s crucial that you test your installation thoroughly before it is rolled out.
VMWare Horizon
The BankID program supports desktop versions of Windows (e.g. Windows 10) in VMWare Horizon environments.
Other terminal-server solutions and computers with roaming profiles
In other terminal-server environments that use roaming profiles, BankID will in many cases work, with the conditions below. A always, it is important that you test your installation before it is rolled out.
BankID on card
If the user always use the same server/computer with BankID on card, it will generally work without further adjustments.
If the user is assigned servers dynamically, the %appdata%\BankID folder must not be synchronized between the servers. A possible solution is to delete this folder at logout, which also will delete any BankID on file.
BankID on file
The user must always use the same server (with Terminal Server) or computer (with roaming profiles), every time he or she logs in. If the user logs in on different servers/computers:
A BankID on file will not appear at all, or
an authentication attempt will cause a failure with an error message about wrong password or a general technical error (usually message code 10023 and 10024).
Known limitations and system requirements
Windows Server 2003 och 2008/R2
These Windows versions are not supported anymore and the BankID program can’t be installed.
