How to share smartcard in KRDC

I am using KRDC to connect to a Windows host. I have a smartcard read on my client that I would like to share with the host. I see a “Share Smartcard” field in the KRDC Configuration dialog. But it is not clear to me what I am supposed to enter there. On Remmina it’s just a checkbox. Does anyone know what I should put here?

Hey, i had the same problem and solved it with this.

  1. run “pcsc_scan” in terminal
  2. copy the exact string behind "Reader: "
  3. paste the string in the “Share Smardcard” field

Thank you! That did the trick.

@Spycoo – for some reason, when I launch RDP I lose internet access on my local machine. I can work fine on the remote machine and until I close KRDC internet on the local machine does not work. I remember something similar happening with remmina a while ago, so this may be an issue outside the scope of KRDC. Is this something you see as well?

@kayvee No, never had this problem with KRDC or Remmina.
