We have custom applications that work through CA Siteminder which gives us a single sign-on authentication with a smart card. I'm sure there are similar applications from other vendors.
There's also a GPO you can turn on so you would need an appropriate smart card to log into your computer. In that case I don't think there's a special app required. May require being part of an Active Directory domain but I'm not sure. _________________________________ Robert Rosen From: Franco Roman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2010 1:39 PM To: Rosen, Robert (NIH/NIAMS) [E] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] t61 smart card reader Yes, i was guessing that an application was needed, but whichone?

We use them, for example, to log into sensitive systems but the application reads the information from the card, i.e., the card reader and driver just make it available. _________________________________ Robert Rosen > Date: Tue, 14 Dec 2010 14:00:56 -0300 > From: Franco Roman <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> > Subject: [Thinkpad] t61 smart card reader > To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> > > Hi everyone, i have a T61wide, and the version i have it has a smart card > reader just below the pcmcia slot.
