Issue(s) Resolved in this Hotfix
Smart card access did not work properly with certain customized
applications. The smart card hook, used to intercept certain function
calls destined for the smart card reader, was not working properly. This
resulted in commands being issued to a server instead of to the client
device where the smart card reader was located.
The method used to intercept smart card function calls was modified so
the customized application now correctly accesses the smart card reader
attached to the client device.
[From Hotfix XE103W2K127][#54978]
When two processess attempted to access a remote smart card reader, all
activity going across the virtual channel stopped. After a time-out
period, a failure would occur on one of the processes and the other
would continue. This occurred because the Microsoft Smart Card Resource
Manager blocks certain commands. If a command was sent from the
MetaFrame server while a command from another process was still in
process, activity would stop.
Application of this hotfix ensures that no additional commands will be
sent to the client until the command blocked by the Microsoft Smart Card
Resource Manager is released. Activity will not stop when two processes
within a session attempt to access a remote smart card reader.
