Hi
Although I have never used this concept, hope following text helps you.
The Solaris Smart Card feature enables security administrators to protect a computer desktop or individual application by requiring users to authenticate themselves by means of a smart card.
Solaris Smart Cards:
The Solaris Smart Card feature implements the Open Card Framework (OCF) 1.1 standard. Security administrators can use this technology to protect a computer desktop or individual application by requiring users to authenticate themselves by means of a smart card. Each host to be secured by Solaris Smart Cards requires a card reader. To gain access to secured desktops or applications, users first insert their smart cards into the readers and then type the PINs for their cards. Host machines use the PINs and the users’ passwords embedded on their cards to verify that users are whom they claim to be. Solaris Smart Cards supports two external card readers, the Sun Smart Card Reader I and the iButton Reader. Three smart cards are supported, the Java-based iButton and Cyber ex cards, and the Pay ex smart card.
The Solaris Smart Cards Administration Guide tells security administrators how to set up smart card support for their sites. It also introduces users to the smart cards technology.
Thanx
Sharad
