devices, as described above. With RGS 5.3.0, 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 2-19 Smartcard reader accessibility pre- and post-RGS connection for settings “USB devices
are Remote” or “USB devices are Local/Remote” on page 28 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.

devices are Remote” or “USB devices are Local/Remote”
●
Figure 2-19 Smartcard reader accessibility pre- and post-RGS connection for settings “USB devices
are Remote” or “USB devices are Local/Remote” on page 28 indicates that the USB devices
are Remote and USB devices are Local/Remote settings are effectively ignored for
smartcard readers. In particular, the USB devices are Remote setting is ignored as evidenced by
the smartcard reader being locally accessible prior to establishment of an RGS connection.
Similarly, the USB devices are Local/Remote setting is ignored as evidenced by the locally-
accessible smartcard reader automatically becoming remotely accessible once an RGS connection
is established.
