Research direction

Start with the linked Win32-OpenSSH troubleshooting steps and TTY/PTY support wiki pages. Review the server debug3 logs and the linked Python pyscard script, comparing SSH execution with direct execution on the Windows Server 2012 R2 host. Done means the script or other software can access the USB token when connected through OpenSSH.
