Healthcare organizations can integrate Imprivata OneSign with Chrome Enterprise to let users sign in to managed ChromeOS devices by tapping their badge, instead of having to enter their username and password.
Requirements
To use ChromeOS devices with Imprivata OneSign, you need:
- ChromeOS or ChromeOS Flex devices—See Features and peripherals table below for version requirements. We recommend that you use devices with an I-class processor and at least 8 GB of RAM.
- Chrome Enterprise Upgrade for each device you want to manage.
- Imprivata OneSign:
- G3 appliance—See Features and peripherals table below for version requirements.
- Authentication Management (AM) licenses.
- Virtual Desktop Access (VDA) licenses.
- Virtual app and desktop solution:
- Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops version 7.15 or later, or
- VMware Horizon 7.12 or later.
Note: Additional requirements apply if you’re using Virtual App and Desktop Launcher (V-Launcher) to launch virtualized apps or desktops on managed ChromeOS devices. For example, you might want to turn on Fast User Switching (FUS) inside of virtualized electronic health records (EHRs) on ChromeOS devices. See the V-Launcher deployment guide.
What's supported?
Features and peripherals
From October 2024 onwards, we recommend that you use the bundled ChromeOS Imprivata extension. This assures that you do not get Imprivata extension feature updates outside of the ChromeOS rollout cycle, reduces the complexity of your Imprivata setup, and therefore increases its stability. In addition, the bundling of ChromeOS and Imprivata extensions allows for more regular updates as part of regular ChromeOS updates.
Note: The existing pinned Imprivata version 4 extension remains available for now to allow migration at your organization's pace.
