The latest release 25.03 of the Standard Agent for Linux fixes known issues, bugs and stability enhancements for a better user experience and seamless support. In addition, it includes the following features:
Enhanced Security Using Smart Card Authentication
Version 25.03 of the Standard Agent for Linux introduces support for in-session smart card authentication for Linux Clients that connect to Linux agents. When this feature is enabled, session authentication will use the smart card connected to the client. Once a PCoIP session is established, smart cards will also be available for tasks such as in-session authentication and document signing.
For the purpose of enabling smart card authentication, a new parameter called pcoip.enable_smart_card has been introduced. When enabled, this parameter allows the use of PIN-enabled smart cards for session authentication, lock screen login, document signing, and other in-session operations.

Support for Capturing Hardware Cursor
Version 25.03 of the Standard Agent for Linux introduces a new behaviour of capturing hardware cursor on the host machine instead of the client machine. This behaviour can be customized, and host-side cursor capture can be disabled by using the pcoip.disable_server_rendered_cursor parameter. When set to True, hardware cursor capture occurs on the client side.
