[X2Go-User] Smart Card Forwarding

Hello, 

I am looking for a solution to provide secure authentication / mail signing etc on a central place, so I researched the actual available OS-Solutions for this task.

I have a smart card reader built into the client which I want to use for:
 - authentication at the Terminal Server
 - "taking" my smart card with me to authenticate at further destinations (connection is initiated at the Terminal Server).

What I found out is, that the upcoming version of nx can do such a thing and the commercial solutions offer also this functionality (Windows only, Citrix, Oracle SDG …)

Is it possible with x2go to forward the smart card (reader) to the terminal server in a secure way to use it for further actions?
If yes: What do I need for this?

Regards
Markus
