As a prerequisite, you should read our smart card quickstarter guide, in order to learn how to install and configure smartcards.

Hereafter, we consider that you installed a smart card reader and configured a smart card either with a self-signed certificate or a free X.509 certificate like offered by CAcert.org community. Make sure to backup your certificates and keys as explained previously, because you will not be able to extract private keys from your smart card.
