May i ask how you have the card enter the Username?
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHello All,
I recently installed SRSS 4.1 on a x86 system with Solaris 10 u6 (newest version). I created 6 users for testing, 3 of which use SRWC to connect to Windows VM's. My problem is with the smart cards. They are required for the user to access the SunRay and that part works, however it doesnt seem the cards are binded to any particular user. For instance any of the 6 cards can be inserted and logged into any of the accounts (correct username and pw of course). I thought that each card was linked to one user account which provided increased security. The way it is working now is kind of useless.
Any Suggestions?

Right, the smart card is not bound to a particular account, or at least it does not enforce logging in to only a single account. There are a few policy choices, however. The way we have it here, the card is bound to an account so that when the card is inserted the login screen does not ask for a username, it goes right to the password. You can hit "start over" to get back to the username prompt and enter a different username. Once you are logged in, however, the card is permanently bound to the session. If you remove the card the session is disconnected and when you put it back in, you have to re-enter your password to get the session back. This is a policy decision, though.
