Smart cards and smart card readers that are based on PKI credentials are supported for authentication to Application and Database VMs. MiniCluster provides two-factor authentication for SSH clients that use a smart card and smart card reader. The smart card reader is attached to one of the compute nodes. For more information, see Smart Card Authentication.
To learn how to access the Oracle Solaris environment in MiniCluster Application and Database VMs with a smart card and log in to the Solaris environment, refer to Main Smart Card Configuration Tasks in Managing Kerberos and Other Authentication Services in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
