Claim 15:
16. A method for operating a virtual delivery appliance, the method comprising:
communicating with a client device over a network to provide the client device with a virtualized session for a user;
communicating 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;
intercepting by the application an authentication OS command of the native authentication interface from the relying party, and translating the authentication OS command into an authentication challenge message;
redirecting the authentication challenge message to the client device for the user to access the resource; and
receiving 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.
