Smart Card, RFID, and Health Insurance Card Readers (EGK)

~~Translation~~A ~~pending..~~common use case for openthinclient is using RDP or Citrix to connect to a Windows Server. If a device connected to the thin client is also to be accessible within the Windows session, there are various technical options for implementing this.

The following table lists devices for which drivers have already been implemented and tested for customers.

A question mark in the table indicates that the corresponding driver's implementation is in progress.

The table's incomplete; for example, FreeRDP and Citrix generally support redirection of smart card readers that have a PC/SC driver.
However, this redirection depends on the version and device.
