smart card PIN (Credential) delegation accross the processes (non

[Guest Amit Goel [SafeNet Inc]]

Hi,

 

Is there any way or setting(s) to delegate(s) the Smart card credentials

(smart card pin) across the processes on local machine?

 

The scenario is,

1. User inserts a smart card for windows logon. Press Ctrl + Alt+Del

2. Select certificate tile.

3. User enter the pin and successfully gets log-in by using smart card

credentials

 

Case 1:

4. User opens IE to open a ssl site.

5. IE will prompts for dialogue to enter the smart card pin

6. Gets authenticate. User now can use SSL site.

 

Case2:

4. Open Outlook

5. User wants to sign an email. Outlook will prompt for smart pin dialouge.

6. User enters the correct smart pin and successfully sign the mail.

 

Is there any setting to use the first enter smart card pin (i.e. at the time

of Windows logon) will be used by all the other processes (IE or Outlook or

any other process)?

 

Note: Microsoft smart card BaseCSP is used for Smart Card Operation. BaseCSP

maintains per process base Smart Card PIN cache.
