Configuring a Sun Ray 1 Enterprise Appliance as a Token Reader

It is possible to configure one of the Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliances
attached to the Sun Ray enterprise server as a token reader. You can
then use thesmart card reader in this Sun Ray 1 appliance to obtain
smart card token ID's for pre-registration (or other administration).
Note that if you set up one Sun Ray 1 appliance as a token reader, you
will not be able to use the Hot Desk feature on this appliance (which
depends on the reading of smart cards), but you should still be able to
establish a conventional session.
This procedure is also covered in the Sun Ray Enterprise Server Software
1.0 Administrator's Guide, on page 63, under the heading "To Configure a
Token Reader."
To Configure a Token Reader
1. Determine the current authentication policy:
# utpolicy
Reading policy file: /etc/opt/SUNWut/policy/utpolicy
Policy:
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -r card -s card -z pseudo
2. Pick a Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliance to be the smart card token
ID reader. You can use the utdesktop command to list currently
connected Sun Ray 1 enterprise appliances:
# utdesktop -lc
Desktop ID Location Current User
------------- -------- ------------
080020b53927
080020b53d07
2 desktops currently connected.
Note, however, that the "Desktop ID" corresponds to the Sun Ray 1
enterprise appliance's Ethernet (MAC) address, which is also
printed on a label attached to the bottom left of the appliance
itself.
3. Set a new authentication policy to add the designated appliance
as a token reader.
Use the utpolicy command with the -a option to set the policy,
specifiying the -r, -s and -z values from the previously-displayed
current policy and adding the designated appliance as a token
reader:
# utpolicy -a -r card -s card -z pseudo -t add:080020b53927
The most recent policy change is significant.
4. Restart the authentication manager.
The authentication manager must be restarted for changes to take
effect. If you cannot afford to terminate existing sessions, you
can restart the authentication manager without clearing existing
sessions. Note that some sessions that were granted access under
the old policy may persist.
To restart the authentication manager without clearing
existing sessions, use the following command:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i soft
To restart the authentication manager and clear existing
sessions, use the following command:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i clear
Any command line option other than -i was ignored.
Waiting 60+ seconds to insure that all SunRay sessions exit...
Restarting SunRay services
battered# stopping authentication manager
starting session manager
starting authentication manager
During this time, any sessions will be lost, and the Sun Ray 1
enterprise appliances will reset.
You will now be able to read the token from a smart card using
the HTML administration interface, as in this example.
To Unconfigure a Token Reader
1. Re-establish the old authentication policy.
Display the current policy and then reset it without any -t
add:nnnnnnnnnnnn arguments:
# utpolicy
Reading policy file: /etc/opt/SUNWut/policy/utpolicy
Policy:
/opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -r card -s card -z pseudo
-t clear -t add:CoronaP1.080020b53927
# utpolicy -a -r card -s card -z pseudo
The most recent policy change is significant.
2. Restart the authentication manager.
The authentication manager must be restarted for changes to take
effect. If you cannot afford to terminate existing sessions, you
can restart the authentication manager without clearing existing
sessions. Note that some sessions that were granted access under
the old policy may persist.
To restart the authentication manager without clearing existing
sessions, use the following command:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i soft
To restart the authentication manager and clear existing sessions,
use the following command:
# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utpolicy -i clear
Any command line option other than -i was ignored.

During this time, any sessions will be lost, and the Sun Ray 1
enterprise appliances will reset.
