Figure 2-21 USB device accessibility for the setting "USB devices are Local/Remote" USB devices are Local/Remote These devices will only be locally accessible (never remotely) because they were plugged in while no RGS connection was established. Device #3 will be remotely accessible because it was plugged in during an RGS connection. This device will be remotely accessible during the current RGS connection and any subsequent RGS connections. USB device #1 USB device #2 plugged in plugged in USB device #3 plugged in power-on RGS connection RGS connection RGS connection established Device #3 will not be accessible, either locally or remotely, during breaks in the RGS connection. As can be seen in Figure 2-22, USB device accessibility depends on when the USB device is plugged into the Local Computer. If a USB device is inserted while no RGS connection is established, the device will be locally-accessible only. If a USB device is inserted while an RGS connection is established, the device will be remotely-accessible only. Once a USB device is established as locally-accessible or remotely-accessible, its status can only be changed by removing and inserting the device while in the alternate RGS connection state (either connected or not connected). For example, to make a locally-accessible USB device remotely accessible, the USB device needs to be removed and inserted after an RGS connection is established. 2-16-4 Unique smartcard handling New with RGS 5.1.3 is unique handling of USB smartcard readers, including Common Access Card (CAC) readers. Prior to RGS 5.1.3, smartcard readers were handled in the same manner as other USB devices, as described above. With RGS 5.1.3, smartcard readers are now handled in a unique manner, as follows: • Unique smartcard handling requires, on the Sender, that Easy Login be enabled and that the chaining GINA module msgina.dll be utilized • Unique smartcard handling also requires that the Local and Remote Computers both be running Windows. • For USB configuration settings USB devices are Remote and USB devices are Local/Remote, smartcard readers will always be accessible by the Local Computer prior to establishing a connection to a Remote Computer. This is to allow the smartcard reader to be used by the Local Computer prior to using the smartcard to authenticate access to the Remote Computer. • Figure 2-22 shows the local and remote accessibility of the smartcard reader for USB configuration settings USB devices are Remote and USB devices are Local/Remote. In both cases, smartcard readers will be locally accessible prior to establishing an RGS connection, and will be remotely accessible once an RGS connection is established. RGS overview 32
