Smart Card Setup Overview

The setup for PKI and smart cards is the most involved out all of the authentication methods. This setup and configuration requires an Active Directory Certificate Service (Certificate Authority—"CA") if you do not already have one installed in your environment and can also use a Sub-CA (usually best practice).

Overview

1. Active Directory Service Account Setup
2. Certificate Template Setup
3. IIS Configuration for PKI
4. Create A Smart Card Certificate Set
5. Create A Smart Card Authentication Set

Once all of the above steps have been completed, you can begin enrolling smart cards to users.
