Using smart card redirection
NOTE: Smart card redirection is supported on Windows-based receivers and Windows-based and Linux-
based senders only.
On Windows-based and ThinPro-based receivers, smart cards can be remoted using Remote USB. See Remote
USB (Windows/ThinPro only) on page 43.
When smart card redirection is enabled, both the receiver and sender can access the same smart card that
physically exists on the receiver-side only. This means that you can unlock the receiver desktop using the
smart card, connect to the sender, and then use the same smart card with the sender desktop.
NOTE: Smart card redirection can be used with standard authentication or Easy Login only. It cannot be
used with Single Sign-on.
To use smart card redirection:
1. Enable smart card redirection during the installation of both RGS Receiver and RGS Sender (see
Installation on page 6).
2. Install the vendor driver for the smart card reader on the receiver.
3. Install the vendor driver for the smart card on both the receiver and sender.
4. If Remote USB is enabled, see Conguring Remote USB for smart card redirection on page 30.
NOTE: If the smart card removal policy has been set on the receiver, the receiver desktop is locked if the
smart card is removed. If the smart card removal policy has been set on the sender, the sender desktop is
locked when the RGS connection is ended or when the smart card is removed.
Conguring Remote USB for smart card redirection
Smart card readers typically connect to the system via USB, so you must prevent the smart card reader from
being remoted by the Remote USB feature to use the smart card redirection feature.
To prevent the smart card reader from being remoted:
▲
If you used the default Remote USB installation option USB devices are Local/Remote when installing
RGS Receiver, connect the smart card reader to the receiver before starting an RGS session, and do not
disconnect the smart card reader during the session.
– or –
Set the remoting behavior of the smart card reader to local (see Conguring the remoting behavior of
individual USB devices (Windows only) on page 43).
Limitations
Consider the following limitations when using smart card redirection:
●
Smart card redirection is limited to the primary user.
●
Smart card redirection is limited to the rst smart card detected by the receiver. If there are two or more
smart cards, including virtual smart cards, enabled on the receiver, smart card redirection might not be
predictable.
●
Disconnecting and reconnecting a smart card reader during an RGS session causes the smart card reader
to be remoted via Remote USB. In this situation, the receiver no longer sees the smart card reader or
smart card. If the smart card removal policy is enabled, the receiver desktop locks.
