I am evaluating the Pragma Fotress CL and FX client software packages for connecting from a Windows desktop to Linux servers. I have configured the CL software to authenticate with SmartCard using the following configuration:
1. Set "Site name", "Host address" and "Port" for remote sever.
2. Under "Authentication" settings, record username in "UserID" field and click "SmartCard/CAC" radio button. Next to "SmartCard/CAC" radio button, click the check box labeled "Key Only"
3. Click "Apply", then "Connect"
When I click "Connect", after setting up the connection, it prompts me for the PIN to my CAC and then logs me in.

My question is how do I setup this same configuration within the FX client software? I have tried the following, but to no avail:
1. Set "Site name", "Host address" and "Port" for remote sever.
2. Under "Authentication" settings, set "Certificate Name Mapping" to "User Specified", record username in "UserID" field and click "SmartCard/CAC" radio button.
3. Click "Apply", then "Connect"

A connection seems to have been made, because it displays the servers SSH banner. But then I see a pop-up from Pragma FortressFX that reads "Authentication/Connection failed. Please check all connection settings". I am confused as to why FortressCL has an option under "SmartCard/CAC" for "Key Only", but FortressFX does not have this same option.

Any help is appreciated.
