Unique Smartcard Handling; Figure 2-21 Usb Device Accessibility For The Setting "Usb Devices Are Local/Remote - HP Xw460c - ProLiant - Blade Workstation User Manual

Figure 2-19 USB device accessibility for the setting "USB devices are Local/Remote"
These devices will only be locally
accessible (never remotely) because
they were plugged in while no RGS
connection was established.

As can be seen in
Figure 2-19, USB device accessibility depends on when the USB device is plugged into the Local Computer.
If a USB device is inserted while no RGS connection is established, the device will be locally-accessible only.
If a USB device is inserted while an RGS connection is established, the device will be remotely-accessible
only.
Once a USB device is established as locally-accessible or remotely-accessible, its status can only be
changed by removing and inserting the device while in the alternate RGS connection state (either connected
or not connected). For example, to make a locally-accessible USB device remotely accessible, the USB
device needs to be removed and inserted after an RGS connection is established.

2-16-4 Unique smartcard handling

New with RGS 5.1.3 is unique handling of USB smartcard readers, including Common Access Card (CAC)
readers. Prior to RGS 5.1.3, smartcard readers were handled in the same manner as other USB devices, as
described above. With RGS 5.1.3, smartcard readers are now handled in a unique manner, as follows:
Unique smartcard handling requires, on the Sender, that Easy Login be enabled and that the chaining GINA
•
module msgina.dll be utilized
Unique smartcard handling also requires that the Local and Remote Computers both be running Windows.
•
For USB configuration settings USB devices are Remote and USB devices are Local/Remote, smartcard
•
readers will always be accessible by the Local Computer prior to establishing a connection to a Remote
Computer. This is to allow the smartcard reader to be used by the Local Computer prior to using the
smartcard to authenticate access to the Remote Computer.
Figure 2-20 shows the local and remote accessibility of the smartcard reader for USB configuration settings
•
USB devices are Remote and USB devices are Local/Remote. In both cases, smartcard readers will be locally
accessible prior to establishing an RGS connection, and will be remotely accessible once an RGS
connection is established.
