Hello security group,

As a requirement for work, I've been doing research for work regarding
Single sign-on Windows authentication using a Smart card. I know that Windows
2000/2003 servers have good integration with Smart Cards, however I'm
wondering what the requirements are for implementing single sign-on site
wide. Ideally I would like something that integrates with AD, but I know that
is not necessarily a requirement. I've been tasked wtih doing a demo on a
single workstation, is this possible? What software/hardware would I need to
do this?

Just to clarify what I mean by single sign-on, I'm thinking something that
can allow a user to simply put in a Smart Card, enter their PIN, and have
access to the system, including their email profile.

Thank you all in advance.
