Log on with your Smart Card

You can use a smart card to log on to InTouch WindowViewer. You must have an application with smart card authentication enabled to use it to log on to the InTouch application.

Your smart card must contain at least one certificate that is configured in your domain. A smart card reader must be attached to the computer running WindowViewer. You will be required to enter the PIN of the smart card you are using.

If a smart card is not detected in the reader when you try to log on, you are prompted to authenticate using your user name and password instead.

You can use smart card for authentication for secured and verified data writes. For more information, see Use Secured and Verified Writes.

Log on with your smart card

1. Run WindowViewer.

2. Insert your smart card if not already inserted.

3. On the Special menu, point to Security, and then select Log On.

   The Login dialog box appears.

   

   If you have inserted your smart card, your log on certificate—the domain and the user name—is shown in the dialog box.

   The smart card log on dialog box also appears if the LogonCurrentUser() or PostLogonDialog() functions execute from scripts in WindowViewer. These functions are available only in InTouch scripting, not in ArchestrA client scripting.

4. In the PIN box, enter the PIN for the smart card being used

   If a smart card is not available, the system will prompt you to log on with your user ID and password.

5. Select OK. You are logged on to WindowViewer.

   Note: After you log on as a smart card user, you must keep the card in the smart card reader. If you remove it, the system logs you off.
