Smart Card Settings
NOTE: Smart card settings are not valid for Windows CE-based client or Blade Workstation Client
series.
●
SmartCardAlways—integer value, 0 or 1. Allows user to use smart card to enter credentials and
log in. If UiMode = 0 or 1, user has option of using smart card to log in. If UiMode = 2, user must
log in with smart card. See “UiMode” in
User Interface Customization Settings on page 22. Default
is 1 (allow).
●
SmartCardRequiresClick—integer value, 0 or 1. Set to 1 to require that the user click Connect
after a smart card is detected. Changing this to 0 automatically initiates a connection when the user
inserts a recognized smart card. Default is 1.
●
SmartCardCSP—string value. The CSP to use for accessing the smart card. This must match
exactly the name of the CSP installed on the machine. Default is “ActivCard Gold Cryptographic

●
SmartCardUidOid—string value. The OID associated with the entered SmartCardUidType. Not
all Types require an OID. An entry is required is SmartCardUidType=8. Default is blank.
●
SmartCardAutoDisconnect—integer value, 0 or 1. If set to 1, automatically disconnect the
connection when the smart card is removed. Note that Active Directory policy settings may affect
the actual behavior of this property. Active Directory options include leave as is, password lock,
and log off. Active Directory does not include a disconnect option, so you must use
SmartCardAutoDisconnect for that functionality. Default is 1.
