I would like to use smartcards to provide login
authenication on WinXP workstations with Backoffice 2000
as the server. I have Gemplus gcr410 readers that work
fine, but I don't know what I have to do to program a card
to apply to one user and create a PIN. If you could point
me to a source for infomation I would be grateful.

Hi

1. Open XP's "Help and Support" program.
2. In the Search box type: Smart Card , and hit enter.


This one applies to Windows XP as well:

in Windows 2000

and a couple of Google newsgroup searches:
