3.4.10 - Connecting a Smartcard Reader
This function is designed for PC/SC-compliant smartcard readers. Two readers
are supported by the Axel thin client:
- CCID readers,
- Aladdin eToken.
Note: Some "non-PC/SC" readers are also supported. This is achieved with the
RDP/ICA COM port redirection (or by the tty protocol for Unix/Linux). In this
case RS232 devices or USB-RS232 devices must be used (see Chapter 3.4.7).
For the PC/SC devices, a "reader store" is maintained by the thin client. This
store is accessed by the [Configuration]-[Advanced]-[Smartcard Readers]
menu:
A reader is automatically added to the store when being connected for the first
time. Up to four readers can be stored. To consult or change reader
characteristics select the entry. A dialog box as shown is displayed:
Smartcard reader parameters are:
- Reader ID: this value can't be modified. It's composed by the
"Manufacturer ID" and "Product ID".
