Auto-attach USB

[Mithril]

Greetings,

I’m doing a demo on NoMachine Enterprise Desktop 9.3.7-1  server on Ubuntu 20.  My client is the same version on Windows 11.  I’m successfully able to connect client to server and can login with password using SSH with pubkey.   However, in my network we’re required to use smartcard to login to desktop.  I’ve configured USB and SmartCard to connect on attachment, but it only actually connects after I successfully authenticate to gdm.  What I need is for either/or both USB and SmartCard to connect as soon as the display is open so that I can authenticate using SmartCard on gdm.

I’ve enabled all the USB and smartcard values I can find in server.cfg and node.cfg without success.  I see this in my logs:

EXECVE argc=3 a0=”/usr/NX/bin/nxexec” a1=”–adminauth” a2=”foo”
This could be a red herring.  Is what I want to do possible?  If someone has solved this I’d be happy if you pointed me to the solution.

Thanks

-Bob
