Dear Mr. Carlson!
My question may not be in your scope, but I would
greatly appreciate any clue.
My question is if it's possible to use etoken pro
smart card to dial out to win server from Linux?
I'm comfortable with Linux administration (smb,www,
smtp, pop, pppd..), but never really played with smart cards, but as I have seen
there are drivers for smart cards, APIs, and some applications even have support
for it. I haven't seen pppd and smart card combination anywhere on the
web, yet, so I'm asking you to enlighten me. I know that windows client is
using EAP protocol to connect ppptp. Reading available documentation, I
assume that it may be possible to download certificate from smart card and may
be put it as secret to pppd. I don't know any technical stuff regarding
certificates at all, and have even troubles to create certificate for pop3s
server, so forgive me if I wrote something stupid.
We have a situation in our office that have
received a few etokens to connect to our customer network via pptp on win
xp/2k. Since we have a Linux Fedora Core 2 router, and server, which
handles all network traffic, it would be the best option if I could set up pptp
to customer from server and let all (who ever I will enable) users on our
LAN to connect over that tunnel, and avoid manual changing
of routes on win workstations.
Thanks In Advance
