WindowsXP Smart Card Logon

[David]

We wrote a new GINA for Windows XP to make logon via smart card.
When the card is inserted, on Windows 2000 we receive the SAS notification
event, we read the card and all is ok.
On Windows XP Professional - installed on a standalone machine - we do not
receive the event.

We made some searches in Internet and we found the reason (by default, XP
does not subscribe the event), so we try to set things using
WlxGetOption(WLX OPTION SMART CARD PRESENT) to activate SC monitoring and
then WlxSetOption(WLX_OPTION_USE_SMART_CARD) to subscribe the event. No
result.
We know that, if the machine joined an Active Directory domain, the
insertion event is received by the GINA but we need to make it works on a
standalone machine.

We are using Eutron USB crypto tokens with Siemens CardOS for MS CAPI
access.

Are there any suggestion ?

Many thanks
David
