Software configuration
Configure the following items to set up a smart card solution on CCI:
1. Certificate Authentication (CA) service
2. Group policy settings
3. Middleware running on a HP blade PC
4. Smart card client driver
Step 1: Configuring a Certificate Authentication (CA) service
Configure a CA service. This white paper uses Microsoft Certificate Services to configure certificates.

tion about installing Certificate Services, see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/smallbusi-
docs/support/SupportManual/c00363517/c00363517.pdf.
After you install the CA service, perform the following configuration steps:
1. Create an MMC with the following snap-ins:
•
•
•
Active Directory Users and Computers
Certification Authority
Certificate Templates
2. Click Certificate Templates and look for the Smartcard Logon certificate in the right pane.
3. Create a duplicate template by right-clicking on the Smartcard Logon certificate template, and then
selecting Duplicate Template.

Usage case 3: Accessing secure Web site
The following steps provide instructions for accessing a secure Web site using an ActivCard through a
blade PC. Installing and configuring a secure Web site is beyond the scope of this white paper; therefore,
the white paper assumes the secure Web site is already functional and accessible from the blade PC. The
white paper also assumes that you can use the certificate installed on the smart card to access this secure
Web site.
1. Log in to a blade PC using a smart card, as demonstrated in usage case 1.
2. Use Internet Explorer to connect to a Web site to make sure the system is functioning properly. Con-
nect to a Web page on the same server as the secure Web site.
3. Confirm that the lower right corner of the Internet Explorer window does not display a lock icon.

that you are connected to a secure Web site.
Usage case 4: User authentication using VPN through firewall to blade PC
Instructions for installing and configuring a VPN tunnel with a firewall is beyond the scope of this white
paper; therefore, the white paper assumes the VPN tunnel and firewall are already installed and func-
tional. The white paper also assumes that you have a broadband Internet connection and that ActivCard
