Support Windows PIN Authentication for SSO to Vault Thin Client

Support Windows PIN Authentication for SSO to Vault Thin Client

Our company's standard for online authentication is to use Windows PIN authentication (thousands of employees).  We are trying to rollout ThinClient, but employees cannot easily access the website (because no other form of authentication is set up for the average employee).  Please consider supporting PIN authentication - it will help with adoption of Autodesk products at our workplace. From my IT online case autodesk response: "The PIN Authentication is part of Microsoft's Windows Hello for Business, which Autodesk does not support and has no current plans to support at this time."

Hello there @JBeaumont87MWK .

Please bear with me as I ask a few clarifying questions:

  1. what do you mean by the "SSO" part of "Windows PIN Authentication for SSO to Vault Thin Client" ?
  2. I admit to not being an authentication specialist, but my understanding of Windows Hello for Business/PIN is like this:
    1. a user has an AD account
    2. corporate policy requires them to sign into this account using a PIN
    3. once signed into their AD account, they can access corporate resources that require AD authentication (this is just normal AD/domain stuff, nothing specific to PINs)
    4. if this understanding is correct, one would expect them to be able to access WinAuth-protected resources, like the Thin Client.  Your request suggests that this is not the case.  So what happens when a user does steps 1-3 and then tries to access a WinAuth-protected corporate resource (file share/some internal portal/etc) ?
