Smartcard Authentication in Browser

It is possible to authenticate using a smartcard at websites, e. g. Citrix Web Interface or StoreFront.

When connecting via an SSL/TLS secured https URL, the root certificate of the web server certificate has to be known as the Trusted Root Certificate on the endpoint device; see Deploying Trusted Root Certificates in IGEL OS, certificate types Web Browser Certificate and (!) SSL Certificate.
