Installing the virtual smart card reader driver and certificates by running a Fixlet

Install the device driver for the IBM virtual smart card reader together with the certificates by running a Fixlet in the BigFix® console.

About this task

You can install the driver and certificates by running a Fixlet after you install the target. To install the driver and certificates, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. In the Remote Control site, click the Deployment node.
  2. Select the Install BigFix® Remote Control Virtual Smart Card Reader Driver version 9.1.4.0500 and certificates task.
  3. Review the information in the Description tab.
  4. Follow the instructions in the Actions field to install the driver.

Results

The device driver and certificates that are required for smart card authentication are installed. During a remote control session, when the controller user selects a physical card reader on their system, the target can now create a virtual card reader.
Note: If an error is reported when you run the Fixlet, use the VSCDriverInstall.log file in the target installation directory for debugging purposes.
