GDM includes a graphical application that you can use to configure GDM. The following steps document how to disable remote login with this application:
To disable remote login
- 
Run /usr/bin/gdmsetup. 
- 
Click the XDMCP tab. 
- 
Verify that the Enabled XDMCP is not selected. 
 
NOTE: Whether modifying the GDM configuration manually or by using /usr/bin/gdmsetup, you must restart GDM.
  
    
This section describes how to perform smart card login using Gnome Display Manager (GDM).
To perform smart card login with GDM
- 
Insert your smart card. 
- 
Enter your username or UPN at the Username: prompt, if required. 
NOTE: GDM permits a null entry. An unspecified username allows the pam_vas_smartcard module to obtain the username from the smart card itself. 
 
- 
Enter your PIN at the Password: prompt. 
- 
Click the Login button. 
  
    
The K Display Manager (KDM) is a PAM application providing graphical login. The following sections document how to configure and use KDM with smart card authentication.
 
    
To configure KDM for smart card, run the following command:
vastool smartcard configure pam kde 
 
Unlike GDM, KDM presents both a Username: and a Password: prompt simultaneously to the user. You can not change these prompts. The prompt-vassc-user and prompt-vassc-pin options in the [pam_vas] section of vas.conf have no effect.
NOTE: KDM displays additional information from the Safeguard Authentication Services PAM module in a pop-up window, which only disappears when the user clicks OK. Thus, the prompt-style and show-token-status options are not recommended for KDM.
