Hi everyone,

Currently Microsoft prohibits using a smartcard or etoken plugged into the RDP host computer (you must plug the smartcard in the RDP client computer)

But many times you go outside with your laptop and forget your etoken plugged into your home computer. It's horrible having to go back to your home (sometimes driving many hours!)

The file winSCard.dll can be patched to allow using smartcards (or etokens) plugged into the RDP host computer, as explained here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27375364/how-to-access-remote-usb-smartcard-during-rdp

And here:

However, it requieres knowledge of assembly language, and that's very difficult for normal users! Could you please consider this feature? It would be awesome to have it included in RDPWrap!!
