We have a smartcard reader and smartcard that now allow us to login to windows. 
IE. WindowsXP/Win2003.

Takes a lot of setup, and we are now using the inbuilt Microsoft features, so 
no modified GINA's etc.


I have just tested using the SmartCard to connect to a Windows 2003 server 
using terminal services. It works !

I then tested the 2 group policy options that windows allows you to set namely
    1) Force logoff on SmartCard removal
    2) Lock on SmartCard removal

Well thats all well and good, but I need to be in a postion where the following 
happens.

1) Workstation is at DESKTOP login on TS server
2) User inserts Smartcard and enters PIN
3) This takes them either back to the session they last had opened OR creates a 
new one
4) The user removes the SmartCard and the session DISCONNECTS (ie allowing for 
smooth roaming)

At this stage I have not installed either PS3 or 4 or any version of the Citrix 
client. This is my test environment and I was looking for some pointers in the 
right direction
