How are smart card readers supported in RX-RDP, RX420(RDP), RX300 and LEAF OS devices?

Please refer to RX-RDP, RX420(RDP), RX300 and LEAF OS user configuration guide for additional details:  https://support.ncomputing.com/portal/kb/articles/rx300-rx-rdp-user-configuration-guide

The RX-series firmware and LEAF OS contain the PC/SC daemon and a set of smart card reader drivers which allow the native (functional) redirection. CCID-compliant smart card readers and numerous ACS (Advanced Card Systems, Ltd.) smart card readers are supported with native redirection. Any number of thin clients can start the terminal sessions with native smart card reader redirection enabled. Please refer to RX300 or RX-RDP firmware Release Notes for a full list of supported smart card reader models.

Enabling native redirection of smart card readers for RDP sessions

The Native (UXP and RDP) redirection type must be selected for the Smart card readers device class in Peripheral devices redirection settings group in the Peripherals section of Setup GUI to enable the native redirection of smart card readers for RDP sessions (in RDP Client and VERDE VDI Client operation modes).

The ‘certutil -scinfo’ command can be used inside the RDP session to verify the operability of the redirected smart card reader and the smart card inserted into the reader. With well working redirection it will ask for card’s PIN and display the certificate stored on the card.
