PKI based Smart Card Terminal Logon 
for Windows® Terminal Server Environments

 
 

The comfortable performance of the Citrix Meta Frame is invaluable in multi-functional and larger (thin) client environments. But Windows Terminal Server services are likely to be of interest for smaller installations and simple IT environments.

Sefirot has produced its Smart Card support (CSP) also for this case. This is to say that not only in the Citrix MetaFrame- but also in pure Windows Terminal Server Environments Smart Cards of one's own choice can be employed.

Access protection is optimal if Smart Cards are used in this framework. Uncertainties resulting from casual dealing with user identities and passwords have ceased to exist.
Having Smart Card plus PIN the advantages of strong authentication can be brought to full bearing with PKI-based Smart Cards. One can be sure of simplest handling and most secure access protection covering all approaches to terminals of a network.
Personalization as well as publication will be performed by the Smart Card Enrollment Station/ Microsoft Certificate Services, which the Sefirot software has been seamlessly integrated into.
Installation is truly simple. Smart Card support will automatically become active at all terminal systems of a computer network once the Smart Card "TLWTS" software (Terminal Logon for Windows Terminal Server) has been installed on the one (if only one exists) or the servers of the configuration. Installation will be done in a moment; at the terminals card readers with PC/SC drivers must be plugged in.
Smart Cards: all Sefirot supported Smart Cards can be utilized with "Smart Card Terminal Logon in Windows Terminal Server Environments".
Platforms: the Sefirot Smart Card Terminal Logon for Windows® Terminal Server is available for Windows® 2003 Enterprise Server.
