Terminal Servers

Terminal Servers Identity Agent - An Identity Agent installed on a Windows-based application server that hosts Terminal Servers, Citrix XenApp, and Citrix XenDesktop services. The Identity Awareness Terminal Servers solution lets the system enforce Identity Awareness policies on multiple users that connect from one IP address. This functionality is necessary when an administrator must control traffic created by users of application servers that host Microsoft Terminal Servers, Citrix XenApp, and Citrix XenDesktop.

The Identity Awareness Terminal Servers solution is based on reserving a set of TCP/UDP ports for each user. Each user that is actively connected to the application server that hosts the Terminal/Citrix services is dynamically assigned a set of port ranges. The Identity Awareness Gateway receives that information. Then, when a user attempts to access a resource, the packet is examined and the port information is mapped to the user.

This Terminal Servers Identity Agent type cannot be used for endpoint computers.
