Introduction
Smart cards can strengthen user authentication in a corporate network by offering strong, 2-factor authen-
tication to offset weak passwords or cumbersome authentication policies requiring frequent password
changes. This paper provides instructions for configuring a smart card with your HP Compaq t5720 Thin
Clients and HP blade PCs. This white paper is not intended as a comprehensive overview of ActivCard
smart card technology and does not address detailed setup of network infrastructure settings such as
DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, IIS or the HP Session Allocation Manager (SAM) or other Windows load
balancing concerns.
This white paper assumes working knowledge for configuration of Thin Client Enhanced Write Filter
(EWF) and acknowledged RDP enablement settings at both server and client.
