1. A virtual delivery appliance comprising:
a memory and a processor configured to cooperate with the memory to
communicate with a client device over a network to provide the client device with a virtualized session for a user,
communicate with the client device over the network to perform a registration operation between a relying party and the client device, an application operating within a virtual operating system (OS) comprising a native authentication interface, the application to perform an authentication operation between the client device and the relying party to access a resource,
intercept by the application an authentication OS command of the native authentication interface from the relying party, and translate the authentication OS command into an authentication challenge message,
redirect the authentication challenge message to the client device for the user to access the resource, and
receive an authentication answer message in response to the authentication challenge message from the client device, the authentication answer message being based upon a biometric characteristic of the user accessible from a memory of the client device, the application to forward the authentication answer message to the relying party to complete the authentication operation;
the application within the virtualized session serving as a conduit for each authentication operation being performed between the client device and the relying party.
