Greetings,

Is there anyway other than writting a gina/gina stub to
force the user to use his/her smart card instead of
ctrl+alt+del?

i.e. I don't want windows to react to ctrl+alt+del but
only to smart card events

Cheers Charlie
 
You can always select "Smart card is required for interactive logon" under
user properties. In this case if User enters his/her username and password
it won't long-in.



Other then that, you will have to write your own gina, but recently I have
seen few custom ginas and they ware all pretty bad. E.g. none of them
supported (or better yet "prevented") me from using Terminal Services
because of bad programming practices...



Good luck!



Mike
 
You can't stop the system responding to Ctrl+Alt+Del
events, but what you can do is set an Active Directory
account flag for a user which restricts the user to being
able to login only using the smart card (and not with
userid/password). This should have your desired effect.

On Windows 2000, in A.D. Users and Computers, Account
tab, check "Smart card is required for interactive logon".
