Dear Mr. Carlson! My question may not be in your scope, but I would greatly appreciate any clue. My question is if it's possible to use etoken pro smart card to dial out to win server from Linux? I'm comfortable with Linux administration (smb,www, smtp, pop, pppd..), but never really played with smart cards, but as I have seen there are drivers for smart cards, APIs, and some applications even have support for it. I haven't seen pppd and smart card combination anywhere on the web, yet, so I'm asking you to enlighten me. I know that windows client is using EAP protocol to connect ppptp. Reading available documentation, I assume that it may be possible to download certificate from smart card and may be put it as secret to pppd. I don't know any technical stuff regarding certificates at all, and have even troubles to create certificate for pop3s server, so forgive me if I wrote something stupid. We have a situation in our office that have received a few etokens to connect to our customer network via pptp on win xp/2k. Since we have a Linux Fedora Core 2 router, and server, which handles all network traffic, it would be the best option if I could set up pptp to customer from server and let all (who ever I will enable) users on our LAN to connect over that tunnel, and avoid manual changing of routes on win workstations.
