Hello all,
Our finance department are asking about whether SGD can deal with
SmartCards used by applications (as opposed to for authentication). They
want us to provide remote access to their staff desktops - nothing
special there. However, they run applications on the desktops to do
payment runs etc and the application needs to be able to see a
SmartCard. The card readers connect via USB. As part of a disaster
recovery plan they want to send people home with their smart card
readers and connect to the desktops remotely. Their current idea is RDP
over VPNs but we've managed to avoid VPNs to date by using SGD. The
documentation suggests that you can enable SmartCards but only for "for
applications running on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 application
server". Just wondering if this is hard and fast or why the restriction
is in place? The situation we're looking at would have the applications
running on XP desktops.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Martin
