            Known Issues with Smart Card Authentication

DameWare has identified the following known issues with Smart Card authentication.

Smart Card Authentication Fails Immediately After Startup

Smart Card authentication fails immediately after the remote system starts up because the remote system has not yet started the TCP service. Similarly, if the remote system has not started any of the following services, Smart Card authentication may fail:

      • Smart Card Services (SCardSvr)
      • Server Service
      • NetLogon Service

To resolve this issue, give remote systems a short period to start the requisite services before you try to connect using Smart Card authentication. If you are trying to connect after sending a Mini Remote Control ping to the remote system, enter an appropriate value in the Connect Delay field on the Mini Remote Control Ping dialog. For additional information, see MRC Ping dialog.
