Depending on the authentication settings that your administrator has enabled, you might need to use a smart card for authentication during an AppStream 2.0 streaming session. For example, if you open a browser during your streaming session and navigate to an internal organizational site that requires smart card authentication, you must enter your smart card credentials.
By default, smart card redirection is enabled for AppStream 2.0 streaming sessions, which means that you can use the smart card reader that is attached to your local computer without sharing it with AppStream 2.0. During your streaming session, your smart card reader and smart card are available for you to use with local applications, as well as with streaming applications.
If your administrator has disabled smart card redirection, you must share your smart card reader with AppStream 2.0. For more information, see the next section.
