User device compliance-profile-based access to virtual sessions and select virtual session capabilities

Abstract:

Systems and methods can enable select virtual session capabilities on a user device configured to access a virtual session, which is an instance of a virtual machine. The user device can receive and forward to a gateway sever, a request to launch a virtual session. Based on the virtual session launch request, the gateway server can obtain a compliance profile determined from operational data for the user device and compare it to a minimum access policy ("MAP"). The MAP can include threshold or binary values for states of a group of user device operational aspects. Where the compliance profile satisfies the MAP, the gateway can permit user device access a virtual session hosted on a virtual machine ("VM") server. The virtual session can be configured at the VM server based on the compliance profile so as to allow access to a portion of a full virtual session capability scheme.
