Re: Two Factor Windows Shares

Regarding:

I want to have a file server (preferably Windows) where the
shares are protected by two factor authentication. The share
would have permissions assigned to Active Directory users as
a normal file share would. But if the user goes to the share
I want it to prompt them for non-AD credentials such as a
finger print. 

I'm not a Samba person myself, and maybe not exactly what you
were looking for, but it looks like Samba supports use of client 
certificates as an authentication option, see for example
