None that I know of.

You also likely don't want to do that anyway.

1. a users who make a primary connection to a server.
    You MIGHT be able to verify a certificate, but I don't think
    you can confirm that a CAC was used...

2. That user now logged on on the remote server wants to copy
    a file to a third server...

    No CAC reader available on that first server... so the connection
    from the first server to the second cannot be done using a CAC.

    A delegated CERT generated from a CAC might be available, but no
    direct CAC use is possible.
