Do you by any chance use NMCI?

yes. The ActivIdentity website should have rom files for their
readers. It might be worth trying an SCR331 with the latest rom which
is 3.25. when I last tested a Neolinux thin client with CAC only the
ActivIdentity readers worked with NL 2.4 but the SCR readers worked with
2.5 and higher.

We just can't get these Neowares to work!
We have Neolinux 2.6 and we do have the ActivCard
readers. Are we able to update the ROM image on the readers?

an additional note, Neolinux 2.4 would ONLY work
witrh ActivCard branded readers. If you look at one of those and the
standard SCR331, you can tell they are probably made in the same factory
but there is something different in the ROM image. The ROM image and
version of the readers is very important. We see similar issues with HP
thin clients and XPe.

not entirely true. Once ActivCliet 6
was installed on the servers, the problems with Neolinux went away. The
guys from Neoware did visit an let us preview the new Neolinux and it
worked fine. I think that was Neolinux 4 but it's been a while and I
forget.

We tried, oh Lord how we tried to make
these things work with CACs (we're .mil too) and they just failed
miserably. We were using neolinux - don't recall if we ever tried their
WinCE units - and PS4.0 on W2K3 servers with TW/ACG. IIRC NeoWare even
sent folks out to one of our offices and they could never get them to
work properly (same symptoms that you're experiencing). Anyway, we sent
them back and went with embedded XP on the HP units as Greg is a HUGE
HP/Wyse TC fan (he loves Devo too). :D
Send them back while you can get your
money back.

Subject: [THIN] Smart card problems on
Neowares
Hi all, I've been fighting this problem
for a week and can't seem to find a solution.
We just bought a few Neowares and we are
having problems with Smart cards becoming unresponsive. The Neowares
connect via ICA to PS 4.0 Win2k3 servers. Users log on with their Smart
cards, they lock their screen, and take their cards out. When they try
to unlock their screen, the system will not unlock. It gives different
messages such as "The credentials cannot be verified", sometimes it does
not prompt for a PIN, sometimes it is plainly unresponsive.
We are running:
PS 4.0 Hotfix Rollup 3 and some at 4,
Win2k3 SP2.
The servers have: ActivClient 6.1, and
Tumbleweed Desktop Validator.
Linux Neowares (Neolinux version 4.0,
revision 5267)
On a side note, this problem is not
showing for 200 XP Wyse clients. So, this seems to be a Neoware-Citrix
issue. We called Neoware support and they said they are aware of it,
but think it's a Citrix problem.
I'd just like to know if anyone out
there has experienced similar issues.
Thanks,
