Automate Keystroke using ThinOS / WMS
Is there a way to automate keystrokes using WMS? Alt+Tab would be perfect. I'm auto-launching a published Citrix application using the WMS console and then using Imprivata to auto-login the user. The problem comes when the thin client is rebooted. ThinOS never brings the published Citrix application to focus, therefore Imprivata does not see the screen to auto-login the user. Below is the environment I'm running. WMS 1.4 ThinOS 8.6 Imprivata 6.0 WMS is auto-launching IE directly to a vendor's Citrix Storefront page, but the screen is not in focus after reboots.
No Events found!

Try doing it without Imprivata. Point your policy directly at Storefront and populate the default username and password variables.
I do not think Imprivata 6.0 is officially supported yet.

We're on the same page because I did actually try that, but the 3rd party vendor doesn't have the XenApp Services URL enabled for whatever reason, so I can't point the thin client directly to their StoreFront, which would have worked out perfectly.
I also tried launching IE via a command prompt, hoping the command prompt would force the focus to the browser, but that didn't work either.
I'm still plugging away at some ideas.

After testing additional settings, one of the workarounds is to enable Full Screen mode.
ThinOS --> Remote Connection (8.5+) --> Global Session Settings --> Advanced Settings
When auto-launching the browser in full screen mode, the browser is always the screen in focus, therefore Imprivata will always recognize the screen and auto-login the user.
This works out great in this situation because some of our thin clients are just used in a tracking board fashion to monitor the status of orders and the thin clients have minimal to no human interaction.
I still wish there was a way to automate keystrokes within WMS though.
