What is the difference between pre-session and post-session(in-session) smart card operation?
Answer:
The difference between pre-session and post-session smart card operation is when the smart card is used for authentication during the log-in process.
- Pre-session smart card operation: The smart card is used prior to the user establishing a client to host connection (logging into a virtual desktop). This is the case when using the OSD.
- In-session (aka. post-session) smart card operation: The smart card is used after the user has connected to their virtual desktop. The smart card may be used to log into their desktop OS (typically Windows) or to access specific applications/operations during a desktop session.
