Sun Ray Software supports smart cards from different vendors.
Information about smart card types is extracted from
vendor-supplied configuration files, which are located in the:
/etc/opt/SUNWut/smartcard
directory. All
files end with a .cfg
suffix, as in,
acme_card.cfg
.
The order in which smart cards are inspected is called the probe
order. Every time a smart card is inserted into a Sun Ray Client,
the Sun Ray server tries to identify the card type using the
specified probe order. The utcard command or
the Advanced->Card Probe Order
page in the
Admin GUI enables you to set up a group-wide probe order, which is
stored in the Sun Ray data store. Only smart cards whose types are
found in the probe order list are accepted. You can add or remove
smart card types from this list to restrict session access to
specific card types.
In the absence of a group-wide probe order, the Sun Ray server
uses the local probe order defined in the
/etc/opt/SUNWut/smartcard/probe_order.conf
file. If no local probe order has been set up, a default probe
order is used. Changes in smart card probe order require Sun Ray
services to be restarted.
