We have several XP machines that cannot pass Smart Card credentials via
an RDP connection to any servers (Win2K8R2).

 

The XP boxes use ActivIdentity client software to enable providing
SmartCard services for logon. The local SP login works correctly (I.e-
when a SC is inserted, you are prompted for your PIN, and may login to
your affiliated AD account). Therefore it appears that the client
software is working correctly.

 

However when RDP'ing to a TermServer, the option to "change user" to
pick the SC affiliated logon does not work. This despite the local RDP
client connection configured to pass the smart card device thru to the
term server. These broken XP clients will not work with ANY server,
hence the belief that he issue is client-side.

 

Things tried/checked (as compared to a working XP install):

 

- Same XP patch level

-Same ActiveIdentity client software version

-Same client software configuration settings

-Machines in the same OU (hence same GPO's)

- Nothing obvious in Win event logs

-Nothing obvious in ActiveIdentity logs

-Upgraded ActiveIdentity client software to even newer version

-Upgraded Terminal Services client to newer version

 

Any ideas appreciated. I can't figure out anywhere that the system is
complaining, it just doesn't' work like the machine sitting right next
to it, and we can't figure out why...

 

Thanks.
