Disable or temporarily disable smart card authentication

You can disable smart card authentication if you no longer want to use that authentication method for the primary server. Or, if you need to complete other configuration before users can use smart cards.

To disable smart card authentication

  1. At the top right, select Settings > Smart card authentication.
  2. Turn off Smart card authentication.

    The settings that you configured are retained even if you turn off smart card authentication.
