Directory

Enable Smart Card
Login
Enables Active Directory inter-operation based on the Kerberos
Authentication supported by a Dell-supplied, auto-installed
browser plug-in and Smart Card usage. To enable Smart Card,
select the check box. To disable Smart Card, clear the check
box. If you enable Smart Card, you must also configure your
Microsoft Windows Client Workstation to correctly operate
with Smart Card Reader functionality. This involves installing
the correct drivers for the Smart Card Reader being used and
also, the correct drivers for the actual Smart Card used. These
Smart Card drivers vary by vendor. The Smart Card must be
properly programmed with the necessary credentials using the
Smart Card Enrollment Services provided by the appropriate
Active Directory Server.
NOTE: Smart Card Login and Single Sign-On selections are
mutually exclusive. You can select only one at a time.
Enable Single
Sign-On

Sign-On, select the check box. To disable Single Sign-On, clear
the check box. If you enable Single Sign-On, you must also set
