Pay attention to the following limitation (being worked on): only linux clients are supported right now. It depends on nss on the client and of course smartcard hardware (you can also use software certificates, see qemu/docs/ccid.txt).

RHEV 3.1 - I'm not sure about this. Does anyone have access to it to check the status of smartcard support?
