ABSTRACT:
An information handling system includes a processor, system memory, and a remote access resource that includes a virtual card reader enabled to establish a communication channel between the remote access resource and a remote card reader to communicate smart card reader access requests and response between them. The system may include an authentication module requiring two factor authentication including userid/password authentication and a physical card authentication. The communication channel enables remote physical card authentication. The resource further supports redirection of system console traffic enabling remote userid/password authentication. The virtual card reader is preferably operable to download a virtual card reader client to a remote management station to which the smart card reader is attached. The remote access resource may be operable to direct console traffic of the system to the remote management station to display a system login screen on the remote management station.
