This reminds me -- if one wanted to get back into running an old Sun Ray system, where the heck do you get compatible smartcards?
- classichasclass 4y ago(author) You don't need them, strictly speaking; you can "just login." In fact, I only just got a set recently myself. However, any ISO-7816 compliant card should work. The part number on my real Sun cards is 370-4333 (specifically 370-4333-03, 72835).
- kotaKat 4y agoDoes that include if I want to go back to running a full Sun Ray server on Linux beyond kOpenRay? (I got a stupidly good deal on a 3i that needs to sit on my desk.)
- classichasclass 4y agoYes, it worked fine just logging in with a user name and password to my Solaris 10 SRSS installation. No card necessary.
- kotaKat 4y agoOh, no no no no -- I want to go full-on card-mode. The roaming concepts are fascinating to me.
- classichasclass 4y agoGot it. I haven't set up my Solaris system that way. There is a configuration file that handles the mapping between smart card and local user credentials, though I'll defer to someone who's actually done it.

- DrPhish 4y agoThis is also something I’m quite interested in. I have sun Ray I bought just as sun stopped offering the server side software for free, and it’s spent it’s entire life sitting unloved in my crawl space. One of my tech regrets is that I’ve never had it properly working
