Huy (pronounced “we”) Nguyen, our Sr. Technical Support Engineer has put together a document that details “one way” of how to configure Smart Card Integration (with smooth roaming) for XPe Thin Clients.  Here is the intro:

An End-user walks up to XPe Thin Client, slides Smart Card into card reader.  The End-user enters his/her PIN, gets authenticated against AD and logins to the thin client.  Provision Networks Virtual Access client will automatically launch, authenticate the user against the Connection Broker and based on what the ACL is set to automatically launch the end-user’s Virtual Desktop.  If the End-user’s Virtual Desktop was in a Disconnection State, the End-user will reconnect to that Virtual Desktop.  Once the End-user is done with his/her Virtual Desktop session, all he or she needs to do is unplug the Smart Card from the card reader.

Based on Microsoft GPOs set on the Thin Client OU and VDI OU, the Virtual Desktop will enter into a Disconnected State and the thin client will Log Off.

The End-user can then walk up to a new Thin client, slide in their card and the session will be reconnected and the end-user can continue their session.
