Troubleshooting the Smart Card Logon in DRAC 5
Use the following tips to help you debug an inaccessible Smart Card:
ActiveX plug-in unable to detect the Smart Card reader
Ensure that the Smart Card is supported on the Microsoft Windows
operating system. Windows supports a limited number of Smart Card
cryptographic service providers (CSPs).
Tip: As a general check to see if the Smart Card CSPs are present on a
particular client, insert the Smart Card in the reader at the Windows logon
(Ctrl-Alt-Del) screen and check to see if Windows detects the Smart Card
and displays the PIN dialog-box.
Incorrect Smart Card PIN
Check to see if the Smart Card has been locked out due to too many attempts
with an incorrect PIN. In such cases, the issuer of the Smart Card in the
organization will be able to help you get a new Smart Card.
