Do you need to use ActivClient for PIV enablement of your Windows network?
Using commercial middleware is not a requirement to PIV enable your network devices, desktop applications, and web applications. More recent versions of Microsoft Windows (7+ and Server 2008R2+) can be configured with Active Directory to support PIV authentication for standard and privileged user accounts.
