From version 2.0.0, ThinLinc has support for smart cards. This includes both smart card authentication and application access.
Smart card authentication can be done by any smart card that is readable by your PKCS#11 library. The library included by default supports PKCS#15 compliant smart cards and relies on the PC/SC interface. This is always present on Windows systems and is usually installed by default on Linux systems. On Solaris this is a third-party add-on. From version 2.1.0, ThinLinc also supports automatic login when a smartcard is inserted so that you can carry your session with you. This version also includes Single Signon using the smart card, so that you can connect to, for example, Windows Remote Desktop Services without requesting the PIN code.
Applications running on the ThinLinc servers and Windows Remote Desktop Services can seamlessly access the local smart card, using the PC/SC interface. This means that you can use smart cards for encrypting your email, signing documents and authenticing against remote systems.
