Universal SmartCard User Identification and Authentication Options

The Universal SmartCard method provides three ways of identifying and authenticating users to the network:

• Identity and authentication, where the SmartCard provides both identification and authentication of the user to the network
• Identity only, where the SmartCard is used only to identify, with the user subsequently authenticating with a password or other similar means.
• Authenticate only, where user provides identity and the SmartCard authenticates the user to the network.

The first two ways require the method and the Universal SmartCard NMAS^TM login ID snap-in; the third requires only the Universal SmartCard Login method.
