Hello all,

our company has a corporate policy shat foresees the use of a smart
card and CA to process authentication to xp domain computers (Windows
2000 native mode).

All xp boxes use smart card and that's fine.
Now we have a branch abroad that was migrated to a Citrix Terminal
Server solution. The branch (4 people) is connected through a 128kb
line and is 6000 miles away, thus we have a high latency of approx.
300 ms (using 32 bytes packets).

Unfortunately, while the authentication in the LAN network takes about
4-5 seconds, the Citrix branch takes about 1 minute and longer.
Now I understand the problem is the slow link and its high latency,
but because I'm not an expert in Smart Card and CA, I was wondering if
anybody has seen this before and if there are any workarounds to
improve the situation.

Thank you very much in advance.

Just guessing but have you tried tuning your tcp window
size?
