The DRAC 5 prompts you for the Smart Card’s PIN.

. NOTE: If you are an Active Directory user for whom the Enable CRL check for
Smart Card Logon is selected, DRAC 5 attempts to download the CRL and checks
the CRL for the user's certificate. The login through Active Directory fails if the
certificate is listed as revoked in the CRL or if the CRL cannot be downloaded for
any reason.
You are logged into the DRAC 5.
However, if the Smart Card login fails, and if:
you have enabled Active Directory login for your user account and
you are a valid Active Directory user
you should have configured Active Directory for using Smart Card
authentication. (for more information, see "Enabling Kerberos
Authentication.")
the DRAC 5 will automatically log you in.
