Hi all,

I just came across an old message that is also important to me.

The at that time suggested solution, USB-forwarding, is not possible for me. As 
this implies that the smartcard-reader is either locally OR remote available.
What I need is a solution like citrix/thinlinc does, where the local client 
forwards the reader.
My Java-based smartcard hold (PKI) keys/certs, that I need to use on the remote 
desktop. 
So no GPG-card.
Five years ago, this was a feature that the people from NX had high on their 
agenda for their version 3, but was postponed time after time

Is there any chance of doing this with X2go ?

Kind regards, Hans

Subject: [X2Go-User] Smart Card Forwarding

Hello, 

I am looking for a solution to provide secure authentication / mail signing etc 
on a central place, so I researched the actual available OS-Solutions for this 
task.

I have a smart card reader built into the client which I want to use for:
 - authentication at the Terminal Server
 - "taking" my smart card with me to authenticate at further destinations 
(connection is initiated at the Terminal Server).

What I found out is, that the upcoming version of nx can do such a thing and 
the commercial solutions offer also this functionality (Windows only, Citrix, 
Oracle SDG .)

Is it possible with x2go to forward the smart card (reader) to the terminal 
server in a secure way to use it for further actions?
If yes: What do I need for this?

Regards
Markus
