There are some differents standards Some code was already written for this: http://www.opensc.org/ http://home.kcore.de/~kianga/smartcard/ > Can you simply read the cert/key out of the smartcard or is there some > "challange-respone" function involved? There are some device, where you have to enter a pin code on the smartcardreader itself. This depends on the hardware. There are also some special devices available like the Aladdin e-token. > I do think this type of support should be in the core of openvpn, not in > the gui though. I will do some research on this and try to find out which devices can be used and how this all might work together with OpenVPN. For using in a corporate enviroments OpenVPN should have Strong authentication with smartcards or this e-token stuff. ____________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users |
