Device Support / Virtual Communication Channels
Enable virtual RDP channels for communicating with various devices connected to the thin client. These can
be card readers (smartcards), dictation machines or even USB storage devices. Channels of this type allow
the device to communicate with the relevant server application.
DriveLock
The virtual DriveLock channel (RDP) is included in the UDLX from Version 5.01.100 and must be installed
on the RDP server.
DriveLock can read hardware data from local USB devices and transfer these data to the server with the
help of the Virtual RDP Channel Extension. When using whitelists, rules based on the hardware properties
of the connected drive (e.g. manufacturer details, model and serial number) are taken into account.
The following steps are important in order to be able to define the access rights for drives via the
DriveLock server configuration:
 Enable the USB devices via drive mapping so that they are available as drives within your terminal
session.
 Check the settings under Sessions→RDP→RDP Global→Mapping→Drive Mapping, they should
correspond to the DriveLock settings.
 Disable RDP-USB redirection, because this will otherwise prevent drives being recognized by
DriveLock.
 Check the device settings under Devices→Storage Devices→USB Storage Hotplug, as they can
influence the USB devices during the RDP session.
 Install and enable the DriveLock channel in the Universal Desktop setup under Sessions→RDP→RDP
Global→Mapping→Device Support.
In the Centertools download area, you will find a document which describes in greater detail the
procedure for configuring DriveLock on the server side: How to use Centertools DriveLock with IGEL Thin
