PowerCLI + Horizon + smartcard Authentication

In our production environment administrators need to use smart cards to authenticate.  I'm trying to automate some recomposes via a powercli script and can't figure out a way to get the script to connect.  Has anyone run into this?

You mean with Connect-HVServer ?

What happens? Errors? Timeouts?

Yes when using Connect-HVServer

I get prompted for my username password.  While I can enter my username we have no passwords for our smart card accounts.

Afaik, smartcard support is not currently implemented in the Connect-HVServer.
You could try to do this via Horizon API, but that's uncharted territory for me I'm afraid.
