Load from System Information

Hi,

Do you wish to use smartcard credentials for a user other than the current one? This uses WMI under the hood, which *should* work just fine within an interactive session using smartcard credentials. As for creating a new user context using smartcard credentials, I would be surprised if we ever tested this scenario, so it is unlikely to work.

However, if there's one thing I know about smartcard authentication in Windows, is that it requires Kerberos to work correctly, and I see from your screenshot that you're connecting using the IP address of the host instead of the fully-qualified domain name. Using the IP address instead of the FQDN will cause a downgrade to NTLM, so maybe try using the FQDN to see if you're getting a different result?

Best regards,

FQDN shows same result.
I run the RDM application as my regular account.
When I connect to a server, I am prompted for my Smart Card credentials and PIN.
This feature would really be nice if it worked.
However, when you click the "Load from System Information" button, I am not prompted for or offered the choice to enter my Smart Card credentials.
So, the result is:

Hi,

I've researched this, only to find out the .NET APIs for WMI assume password credentials, and have no support for smartcard credentials:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.management.connectionoptions.password?view=netframework-4.8.1

We use the same .NET APIs as the WMI Explorer tool, which I've tried for comparison, and it suffers from the same limitation.

Unfortunately, it looks like supporting smartcard credentials for WMI connections may not be possible.

Best regards,
