Hi, We use smartcards, but only for applications, not Windows authentication. If a user inserts their smartcard at a locked workstation (or login) screen they get asked for a PIN (which doesnt exist). Apparently there are lines in the GINA, probably related to... wlx_option_use_smart_card But thats about all I can figure out. Does anybody know how to edit the standard MS GINA to not react to a smartcards, or write another very basic gina to go in front that passes everything excpet smartcard behavior to the MS GINA? I have found this very hard, but somebody with GINA skills this is probably a piece of cake!! Thanks for any help Fred
