Re: VDI 3.4 - Authentication passthru to uttsc kiosk session failing

I think you have the terminology mixed up.  I believe you mean a Sun Ray 
Kiosk provider instead of uttsc.  Doc is a little weak here, so totally 
understand.  uttsc is the name of the Sun Ray RDP client binary (and 
technically the shell script used to call the binary as well as the 
kiosk session descriptor.

VDA_SSO_AWARE has to be set to true in the kiosk session descriptor, if 
using the provided Sun Ray Connector kiosk session, the session 
descriptor is /etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc.conf.  However, you should 
really copy and rename uttsc.conf (and most likely the directory 
/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/uttsc) and make your edits there.  Make sure 
your session descriptor points to the copied directory.

You need to add the the line VDA_SSO_AWARE=true to that file.

 From there, you'd need to augment the copied kiosk script to pass the 
following args -u $VDA_USER -d $VDA_DOMAIN -i or you could pass it 
through the pool settings for the pool that you made with Sun Ray Kiosk 
Desktop provider.

The -i is so uttsc can read the password from STDIN.

Now, you actually have to edit the copied uttsc kiosk script so that it 
passes the password.

At the end of the day, your copied kiosk script would look something 
like this (if just editing the script) where the uttsc binary gets called.

Old:
$theUTTSCExec $theUTTSCDefaultArgs "$ <at> " 2>&1 ||

New
:
read thePassword
echo $thePassword | $theUTTSCExec -u "$VDA_USER" -d "$VDA_DOMAIN" -i 
$theUTTSCDefaultArgs "$ <at> " 2>&1 ||
