Hello,
we would like to ask whether support for **OpenSC** and SmartCard readers in WTWare is currently available or planned for a future release.
Our environment is as follows:
* Thin clients running WTWare
* SmartCard reader: **HID OMNIKEY 3121**
* Target system: **Windows Server 2022 RDS / Remote Desktop Services**
* SmartCards with certificates
At the moment, WTWare is not able to read the certificate from the SmartCard correctly or pass it through to the RDS session as expected. The SmartCard reader itself appears to be detected, but the certificate is not available in the Windows Server 2022 RDS environment.
Older SmartCards or older SmartCard configurations seem to work, so we suspect that support for newer cards or OpenSC-compatible cards may not be fully available yet.
Could you please let us know whether **OpenSC support for SmartCard readers**, especially for devices such as the **HID OMNIKEY 3121**, is already supported in WTWare or planned?
We would also be happy to support testing together with your team. We can provide feedback from our environment, run test builds or configurations, and share logs or test results if needed.
Thank you very much in advance for your support.
Best regards
