Third-party solutions such as load balancers and gateways can perform smart card authentication by passing a SAML assertion that contains the smart card's X.590 certificate and encrypted PIN.
This topic outlines the tasks involved in setting up third-party solutions to provide the relevant X.590 certificate to Connection Server after the certificate has been validated by the partner device. Because this feature uses SAML authentication, one of the tasks is to create a SAML authenticator in Horizon Console.
