pkcs11 sso (using prior windows login with smartcard)

Question

I wish to do the following:

1. Login or unlock my windows account with a smartcard (I know how). The smartcard prompts for PIN.

2. Then access a java software inside the account - and I want to use the same smartcard during its operation. However, I don't want it to prompt for PIN, but rather rely on the prior windows authentication.

Question: is this possible?

Thank you.

Answer 1

If you're allowed to patch your existing login procedures, perhaps its worth it to look at pGina (http://pgina.org/), as it is a modular replacement for the GINA part of Windows.
