To employ standard and advanced security levels, SME requires the following:
• Smart Card Reader for SME (DS-SCR-K9)
• Smart Card for SME (DS-SC-K9)
The smart card reader is a USB device that is connected to a management workstation. The management workstation is used to configure the SME cluster. The smart card reader requires the smart card drivers that are included on the installation CD. These must be installed on the management workstation where the reader is attached.
Note The
smart card reader is supported on Windows-only platforms. This support
includes only the Windows 4 64-bit and Windows XP 32-bit platforms.
For the newly installed smart card drivers to work efficiently with the
smart card readers, you must stop all Microsoft smart card services.
