Windows 10: Unable to login with a smart card. Error: "signing in with a smart card is not supported...

Hello everyone, I am writing to describe a problem I have trying to setup an Windows Domain environment for a Automation System. Normaly, in the past we did really basic Active Directry setup with policies regarding accounts, passwords, RDP, use of USB devices just standard security stuff, no more of a Securit Level 1 system. Now we develop to more secure systems, and I have a problem with 3 workstations that are in this Windows Domain. Those 3 workstation only htose 3 needs to be accesable only using a smart card logon. And I am failing. What I did:1. Installed Certificate Authority

:)

 

Windows sign-in option with smart card

Hi Karla,

Thanks for the reply, it just shows registry and GP setting to change the sign in option from Password to smart card, how to enroll the card (link smart card to user).

Kindly provide complete steps to enroll the card and login with card.

Okay, so I wanted to set up my computer to log in via smart card as a secondary way to enter. I have a CAC and a CAC reader and I got them working. Here's the problem. I set the login via smart card enabled but it never setup a user or even registered my CAC as a login.... so now I am stuck locked out of my computer and every time I put in my pass code it says "you must use a smart card to sign in". How can I bypass this or reset my computer? This kinda erks me I jumped a coupe steps and jacked this up.
