Configuring Smart Card support

BlueZone supports SSL/TLS authentication using certificates stored on Smart Cards that are Microsoft Crypto API compliant. The certificates from the Smart Card are automatically added to the user’s personal store by Windows, and are available to BlueZone by selecting the Client Certificate in Certificate Store radio button in the Certificate tab of the TN3270 Properties window.

  1. Click Session Configure from the BlueZone menu bar.
  2. Click Properties.
  3. Click the Security tab.
  4. Enable the desired SSL/TLS security type and select the MS-CAPI radio button.
  5. Click the Certificate tab.
  6. Select the Client Certificate on Smart Card radio button.
  7. Click OK.
Note: The Smart Card must be inserted into its reader in order to access the certificate. Windows will prompt the user to insert the Smart Card if an attempt is made to use the certificate without the Smart Card being inserted.
