This topic for IT professional provides links to resources about the implementation of smart card technologies in the Windows operating system. It includes the following resources about the architecture, certificate management, and services that are related to smart card use:

Due to my knowledge there is no clean centralized solution. The idea behind the PCSC architecture was, if several readers are connected, that you choose the one you want to connect to by identifiying the card you want to address. For the use case "more than one reader present, but application always wants a specific one, even without knowing something concerning the card" the application has to take care by itself. (Most achieve this by remembering, which one was chosen the last time.)

In VirtualBox, if there is a card present in the smart card reader, I can connect the reader as a USB device. This is under Devices => USB Devices => Generic EMV Smartcard Reader. Windows 7 can then see the smart card reader, but never the smart card.

I also uninstalled the MS Driver (Micorsoft Usbccid Smartcard Reader (WUDF). Then I "unplugged" the USB card reader and "re-plugged" it back in. Windows reinstalled the same driver and failed in the exact same way.

So after "plugging" and "unplugging" the reader from the virtual box and remove and reinserting the card, it finally decided to work. No idea what changed or why, but it seems that doing a chicken dance with the hardware will eventually convince Windows to see the reader and the card.

Windows 11 22H2. I don't know when, but a smart card reader and smart card (CAC) that historically worked fine no longer works. The smart card reader is detected, but not the smart card. Everything works fine on desktop but not on laptop. All services are the same, and the supposed smart card driver file (umpass.sys) exists on both. I've tried two different readers and same result. Any help on how to get the smart card itself to get detected and show in device manager?

I've gotten completely tangled up in red tape trying to meet some government compliance policies. The policy requires multi-factor authentication. It accepts smart cards as one factor but rejects that a PIN to unlock a cert on the smart card counts as a second factor (Don't start an argument against this. The agency that says compliant/non-compliant says no and all appeals have been rejected). I've assembled a setup that prompts the user for their smart card PIN after entering their username and password in order to gain access, which will be compliant.

My problem is now that users are presented with an option to sign in with a smart card on the windows login screen. I need to remove this option but still allow the card reader to read the smart card. Does anyone know of a way to do this? All my previous searches have only turned up results which disable or cripple the reader in the process of removing the option. Policy alone will not be acceptable; It must be technologically enforced that only username/password be allowed to be used to login.

The SCRIL setting is not what I'm looking for. That gives me the option to force or not force a smart card to be required. The setting is currently to not require the smart card so username/password logins will work. The option to sign in via the smart card still lingers though. I need the inverse of the SCRIL setting to prohibit the smart card login.

I've never had any luck in making smart card default for the login screen. I don't think you'll find too much to support your endevour unfortunately because it doesn't seem MS actually tested their credential provider changing methods (they don't work).

Every government system I've ever worked on that required smartcards used the login with pin function. The smartcards have to be FIPS 140-2 compliant, but they still /only/ used the pin login for the card.

I've exhausted my options and think Michael and CrashFF are right in that this is not possible while maintaining the smart card reader in a functional state. If anyone comes across a solution, feel free to add to the conversation. I'll do the same if I ever stumble across a means to do so.

When a user inserts a smart card into a smart card reader on a computer that is running Windows 7, Windows 7 tries to download and install the smart card minidrivers for the card by using Plug and Play services. If the driver for the smart card is not available at any of the preconfigured locations such as Windows Update, Windows displays an error message in the notification area that states that the driver software was not found.

All smart cards require additional software to work in Windows unless there is an inbox driver that lets the user use the card without installing additional software. The Windows Smart Card Framework was improved in Windows 7 to enable automatic download for smart card minidrivers from Windows Update or from other similar locations, such as a WSUS server, when the smart card is inserted into the reader. All smart cards that successfully pass the logo requirements, as published by the Windows Logo Program, benefit from this feature.

However, if the software that is required to use a smart card in Windows is not logoed or is of a type that differs from a minidriver, such as a PKCS#11 driver, a custom CSP, middleware, or an ActiveX control, the automatic download option fails because Microsoft certifies only smart card minidrivers. Therefore, if the user inserts a card for which a custom CSP is not already registered, the user receives an error message that states that the driver software is missing for the smart card device even though the user can use the smart card through additional software that was installed on the user's computer from a custom installation.

This software can actually be used in a relay attack allowing full accessto the card. We discussed the impact especially on the Relay attackagainst the German ID card,but it generally concerns all contact-less smart cards.

A while back a friend of mine gave me an old smart card reader that was of no use to him; he had no need to use smart cards at home and the reader he gave me, a Schlumberger Reflex USB reader, had no support in 64-bit Windows 7, or so it seemed.

Smart card technology finds popular applications in security and access control, financial transactions, medical records, loyalty programs, toll and vending collection, enterprise or single-user network sign-on and more that require secure information exchanges. Contact smart cards have a contact, or chip," area with several contact pads that, when inserted into a Manhattan Smart Card Reader, can authenticate the user and safely transfer information between the card and the host computer. Smart cards are utilized extensively in Europe and Asia, and the use of smart cards is growing in North and South America. They replace less secure and less reliable barcode ID and magnetic stripe cards to provide flexible and standard transactions and strong, tamper-resistant authentication with minimal human intervention.

Smart card enrollment is not supported with fast smart card. Smart card enrollment might work when fast smart card is disabled, but depends on the type of smart card and middleware. Contact your smart card and middleware vendor for information on their integration with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops and support for smart card enrollment over virtual sessions.

Smart cards for enterprise use contain digital certificates. These smart cards support Windows Logon, and can also be used with applications for digital signing and encryption of documents and email. Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops support these uses.

Smart cards for consumer use do not contain digital certificates; they contain a shared secret. These smart cards can support payments (such as a chip-and-signature or chip-and-PIN credit card). They do not support Windows Logon or typical Windows applications. Specialized Windows applications and a suitable software infrastructure (including, for example, a connection to a payment card network) are needed for use with these smart cards. Contact your Citrix representative for information on supporting these specialized applications on Citrix Virtual Apps or Citrix Virtual Desktops.

Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops smart card support is based on the Microsoft Personal Computer/Smart Card (PC/SC) standard specifications. A minimum requirement is that smart cards and smart card devices must be supported by the underlying Windows operating system and must be approved by the Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) to be used on computers running qualifying Windows operating systems. See the Microsoft documentation for additional information about hardware PC/SC compliance. Other types of user devices might comply with the PS/SC standard. For more information, refer to the Citrix Ready program.

The following smart card and middleware combinations for Windows systems have been tested by Citrix as representative examples of their type. However, other smart cards and middleware can also be used. For more information about Citrix-compatible smart cards and middleware, see ff782bc1db
