Is there a way to setup a Netware 5.1 network that would require a smart card to gain access to the network??

May be what is written below may not be appplicable to u.

First of all u would require smartcard keyboards. (These are available).

Next u have to ensure that when the user logs in he has to enter his user name and password.

The login process could be called from your program which first looks for the smart card and then asks the user for then user-id and password. (IN ANY CASE U HAVE TO GET HELP FROM NOVELL FOR THEIR SDKs WHICH WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO U).


I hope the above may be of help to you.

FYI,

I am using a usb card scanner right now. Made by Schlumberger. Very small. I also have seen pcmcia card readers.
