Figure 2-21 USB device accessibility for the setting “USB devices are Local/Remote”
As can be seen in Figure 2-21 USB device accessibility for the setting “USB devices are Local/Remote”
on page 33, USB device accessibility depends on when the USB device is plugged into the Local
Computer. If a USB device is inserted while no RGS connection is established, the device will be
locally-accessible only. If a USB device is inserted while an RGS connection is established, the device
will be remotely-accessible only.
Once a USB device is established as locally-accessible or remotely-accessible, its status can only be
changed by removing and inserting the device while in the alternate RGS connection state (either
connected or not connected). For example, to make a locally-accessible USB device remotely
accessible, the USB device needs to be removed and inserted after an RGS connection is established.
Unique smart card handling
New with RGS 5.1.3 is unique handling of USB smart card readers, including Common Access Card
(CAC) readers. Prior to RGS 5.1.3, smart card readers were handled in the same manner as other USB
devices, as described above. With RGS 5.1.3, smart card readers are now handled in a unique
manner, as follows:
●
Unique smart card handling requires, on the Sender, that Easy Login be enabled.
Windows XP Professional – The chaining GINA module msgina.dll will be utilized.
Windows 7 – The HP ELO Credential Provider will be utilized.
●
Unique smart card handling also requires that the Local and Remote Computers both be running
Windows.
●
For USB configuration settings USB devices are Remote and USB devices are Local/
Remote, smart card readers will always be accessible by the Local Computer prior to
