Install a Jump Client or Jumpoint for Elevated Privileged Remote Access Session Start

When attempting to operate with the credentials on a smart card, the user is prompted to enter a PIN. This UAC prompt is inaccessible to the user if the endpoint client is not already running in elevated mode. It is therefore necessary to access the remote endpoint in one of two ways:

  • A Jump Client running as a system service
  • A Jumpoint or local network Jump, using administrative credentials

Accessing the remote endpoint in elevated mode allows the user to interact with UAC prompts in order to enter the smart card PIN.

Jumpoint Installation

To install a Jumpoint, see Jumpoint: Set Up Unattended Access to a Network. No special setup is required.

Jump Client Installation

To install a Jump Client in preparation for using smart card support, you must set certain options as described below.
