Set up Smart Card authentication

You must do the following to set up Smart Card authentication:

• Configure the InTouch application to use either InTouch OS or ArchestrA OS security. The ArchestrA security can be either user-based or group-based. You configure ArchestrA security using the System Platform IDE. For more information, see the IDE documentation.

• Join the WindowViewer computer to the correct domain for your network.

• Within WindowMaker, enable Smart Card authentication for the InTouch application. For more information, see Enable Smart Card authentication in WindowMaker.

• Configure the Smart Cards for the domain where you will use them.

• Install card drivers on the WindowViewer computer. Smart Card and their drivers are hardware-specific. For information on installing and setting up your Smart Card reader, refer to the documentation for your specific reader.

• Connect the Smart Card reader to the appropriate port of the WindowViewer computer. For instructions, see the documentation that comes with the Smart Card.

  • More than one Smart Card reader is required to perform verified write functions, which involve more than one user.

  • To use Smart Card with Terminal server and RDP clients, a Smart Card reader must be attached to the client systems to enable Smart Card authentication. To connect a Smart Card reader to a Terminal Server using RDP, you need to make sure that the RDP client connection settings have the Smart Card option enabled under Local Devices and Resources.
