If you configure single sign-on to the Web Interface using a smart card, you must select Client Authentication on the Certificates in the virtual server dialog box and then configure the client certificate as Optional. If you select Mandatory, single sign-on to the Web Interface fails.

In the configuration utility, on the Configuration tab, in the navigation pane, expand NetScaler Gateway and then click Virtual Servers.
In the details pane, click a virtual server and then click Open.
In the configure NetScaler Gateway Virtual Server dialog box, on the Certificates tab, click SSL Parameter.
In the Configure SSL Params dialog box, under Others, click Client Authentication.
In Client Certificate, select Optional and then click OK twice.
