I use a remote desktop client with smart card authorization on the gateway in Windows 10 to access my computer in the office. But it doesn't work on Mac. Will there be added support for authorization on the gateway using smart cards?

    For Azure Virtual Desktop, when adding a workspace, the system will properly ask for Smart Card credentials. However, when opening the connection to the specific machine within the workspace, it only asks for username/password, and will not prompt for smart card authentication. Since the capability is clearly already in the app, I assume it just needs to be activated in that part of the interface. Do we know if/when this will be addressed?

    Yes, still in 2021 does not work. The Mac RDP client is not able to read the certificates on the smart card, it redirect it, but you can't use it to login...

    Can we get an update for this feature. This is a significant issue with folks trying to connect to RDP via PIV/CAC cards.
