What about X509 certificate logon to TS

[Guest Rich Raffenetti]

It would be really great if a holder of an X509 certificate could use it to

login to a terminal server instead of typing username/password credentials.

Does anyone foresee that happening?

 

The X509 certificate on a smart card may be used - so basically the system

already understands certs.

What about some other form of single signon like kerberos?

This link

http://blogs.msdn.com/ts/archive/2007/04/19/how-to-enable-single-sign-on-for-my-terminal-server-connections.aspx

appears to be what I want. Works with certs. Works with XP/SP3 too with

some registry hacks.

 

I guess no one is interested. :-(
