It would be really great if a holder of an X509 certificate could use it to
login to a terminal server instead of typing username/password credentials.
Does anyone foresee that happening?

The X509 certificate on a smart card may be used - so basically the system
already understands certs.

What about some other form of single signon like kerberos?

This link

appears to be what I want. Works with certs. Works with XP/SP3 too with
some registry hacks.

I guess no one is interested. :-(
