Hi, I need to support smart card authentication in my Linux thin client for vmware. I came to know that vmware has released Linux version of client. I downloaded and installed on my thinclient. but I am coming across one issue. Below is the statement from one of my customer: " If we connect to server, it doesn't carry smart card credentials. When I insert the etoken smart card and open vmware client and connect to machine thrugh vmware server, the virtual machine doesn't ask for the PIN and if you open the etoken Smart card PKI client at remote machine you can see that the eToken is not recognized." As of now I am using VMware View Open Client from http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/ Is there any commertial version of this client also available from vmware which support smart card. Few questions: 1. Is the official Linux client the only one with smart card support ? [ As per the customer requirement we need Smart card support in Linux client with vmware. I have come to know that Wyse, HP and Priam thin clients has Smart card support in Linux with vmware view. How is this possible ?] 2. Is there any way to enable Smart card support in Open Source Client ? Do I need any connection broker to enable Smart card support. 3. Is there any connection broker for Linux which doesn't require Java Support. I was checking with Leostream client but that requires java which itself is around of 100MB for my limited memory thin client. Actually I am new to vmware infrastructure. To provide smart card solution to customer I need to know how to make vmware view pass smart card credential to server.
