Pkcs#11 and smart card reader

Hi everybody,
In my applet code
i'm trying to implement "attached signature" reading keystore from a smartcard.
I'm using SunPKCS11 provider and infocamere smart card, so i load SunPKCS11.dll for PKCS#11 standard.
my code is:
String pkcs11ConfigFile = "c:\\smartcards\\config\\SI_PKCS11.cfg";
Provider pkcs11Provider = new sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11(pkcs11ConfigFile);
Security.addProvider(pkcs11Provider);
where SI_PKCS11.cfg file contains 2 lines like follow:
name = test
library = C:\WINNT\system32\SI_PKCS11.dll
when I try to sign without smart card in the device reader i catch "PKCS#11 not found" exception, while when I try with smart card inside the device the applet stop on loading the provider and it doesn't continue without any errors in java console. Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot for every answer
best reagards

I should add that I am using Windows 7 and my CSS version is 8.3, I can also verify my smart card works for other applications, only thinkvantage CSS 8.3 does not work.

Token and smart card reader are not detected on Mavericks if not plugged on a USB port during system boot

Well, both token and smart card reader are not detected on OS X 10.9 if not plugged on a USB port during system boot. So, if I am already working within the system and need to use my certificates I have to plug the token or smart card reader on a USB port and restart Mavericks.
Token is a GD Starsign and Smart Card Reader is a SCR3310 v2.
Thoughts?

SCS is a very good app, since I've read that Apple has discontinued support for PC/SC interfaces after the release of Mountain Lion.
(My previous installation was a Mavericks upgrade from Lion)
However, I don't know what and how to debug using Smart Card Services. Do you know any commands to use?
Apparently, the SC reader reports no issues: the LED is blinking blue when no smart card is present and becomes fixed blue when a smart card is inserted – according to the manuals, this shows that there is correct communication between the OS and the CCID reader.
I don't know what to do; I'm beginning to hypothesize it's a digital signer issue. In fact, my smart card only supports one application called File Protector (by Actalis) to officially sign digital documents. This application seems to have major difficulties in identifying the miniLector EVO.
The generic and ambiguous internal error comes when I try to manually identify the peripheral.
Athena CNS is one of the Italian smart cards and is automatically recognized and configured (so it's correct – no doubts about this), while "ACS ACR 38U-CCID 00 00" seems to be the real name of the miniLector.
(I'm assuming this because System Information also returns that the real manufacturer is ACS... bit4id is a re-brander)
However, when I click on it and then tap OK, it returns internal error.
As first attempt, I would try to completely erase&clean File Protector files to try a reinstall. Then, if this still doesn't work, I'd debug using the terminal.
So:
- Do you know any applications to 100% clean files created by an installer?
- Do you have in mind any solutions that I might have forgotten?
Thanks in advance from an OS X fan!

MS Remote Desktop and smart card reader

I have installed MS Remote Desktop Conn. on my iMac and connected a smart card reader via the USB. Although my reader energizes when the computer is on, the computer doesn't seem to recognize the reader. When I insert a CAC card into the reader and try to log in remotely, I continue to get a "username/password" box instead of the CAC PIN number. Do I need to install some kind of smart card driver or does Apple already have it? I'm at a loss as to how to fix this.

I was able to get rdesktop 1.6.0 to install on my Mac and I was able to get CAC log-in to work.
However, the installation is a little tricky. I downloaded rdesktop 1.6.0 from this link:
<<http://www.rdesktop.org>>
My instructions for installation:
1. Make sure Xcode Tools is installed on your computer. It should be on your OS X install disk.
2. Find out where your X11 libraries are located:
-From the Finder menu, selct "Go" >> "Go to Folder..."
-Type (without the quotes) "/usr/X11", and click "Go"
You should see a bunch of folders. Make sure the "include" and "lib" folders are there. Otherwise you need to find out where the X11 "include" and "lib" folders are located on your computer.
3. Download rdesktop and place the (unarchived) rdesktop-1.6.0 folder on your Desktop
4. Open the X11 application (should be in your Utilities folder)
5. In the X11 window type the following (without the quotes):
"cd Desktop/rdesktop-1.6.0 && ./configure --enable-smartcard -x-includes=/usr/X11/include -x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib && make && sudo make install"
4. Hit enter. When prompted, enter your administrator password and hit enter.
rdesktop should now be installed in the following folder:
/usr/local/bin
So, to launch rdesktop with smartcard log in enabled, open the X11 application (or Terminal application) and type the following (without the quotes, and replace your.server.address with the server address):
"cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop -r scard your.server.address"
Hit enter and it should launch a new X11 window that will try to access the remote server where you should be prompted for your PIN.
To explore more options with rdesktop, open X11 and type the following (without quotes):
"cd /usr/local/bin && ./rdesktop"
Hit enter and you should get a list of options available to rdesktop.

Blackberry Z10 and Smart Card Reader Battery Life

We have several users with new Z10s using Smart Card Reader 2. After activation with BAS10, users state the Smart Card Sled battery life has dramatically decreased from the old setup with 9930s on BAS5. One user states he can have it fully charged at work and it will be dead by the time he gets home.
I searched around a bit, and haven't found anyone else reporting this issue. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Hi my two Z10 don't have this issue, what OS version are you running? The newer version should have fixed the battery issue.

T450s -- Display, NGFF SSD, Smart Card Reader, and m.2 SSD slots

I'm looking to order a T450s and have a few questions about options when configuring the order:
1080 Display -- Does anyone know if the 1080 display (non-touch) is made by LG or AUO or someone else? There was extensive discussion about the T440s, and people got different brands and the AUO was the preferred brand.
16GB m.2 NGFF SSD -- If I remove this option, and want to add a 3rd party compatible NGFF SSD later, can I do this?
3rd m.2 SSD Slot -- The options are None, 3rd m.2 SSD slot, or Smart Card Reader. If I select the Smart Card Reader option, can I later remove the Smart Card Reader and use it as a 3rd m.2 SSD slot? Or, if I select 3rd m.2 SSD slot and later want to use it for a Smart Card Reader, can I buy a Smart Card Reader and plug it into the slot?

Lenovo uses different FHD diplays for the T450s: one by AU Optronics and the other by LG Display.
However, the T450s uses a different LG display than the T440s. The LG screen of the T450s ("
LP140WF3-SPD1") seems to be much better than the LG screen of the T440s.
If you remove the 16GB M.2 SSD option, you can add a M.2 SSD later.
If you have a device with two M.2 slots, you can't use a M.2 SSD and WWAN at the same time.
If you have a device with three M.2 slots, you can only use single-sided M.2 SSDs in the third M.2 slot.
Both the SmartCard reader and the third M.2 slot are attached to the mainboard via a flexible flat cable.
If you choose the SmartCard reader, the warranty might be lost if you want to use the third M.2 slot, because you have to replace some parts that aren't so-called CRUs (consumer replaceable units).

Blackberry Smart Card Reader 7250 and Blackberry Bold 9000 connecting and pairing

As the subject line states, I am trying to connect and pair the Card Reader with the Device. I am unsuccessful in following the steps to Pair the Device with the Card Reader.
When I attemp to Click Connect from the Security Options/Smart Card/Registered Reader Drivers/Blackberry, and after I enter the reader ID on the device I receive an error "Connection to unknow device fail" and then it tries to connect 2 more times, and I receive the error "Unable to connect your Blackberry Smart Card Reader. Please verify that the reader is turned on, that you have correctly specified the reader ID, and that the reader is not alreadt paired with another Blackberry.
Could someone provide some assistance?

I've received the same error. It's a known issue with a batch of new readers. I called RIM and they said an updated software package should be made available online in the next day or so which will address/resolve the problem.

Signing web form data with a PKCS#11 Smart Card

Hi,
I would like to know what is the best solution to sign a web form using a PKCS#11 Smart card.
I already read some examples where is used an applet based on the Sun PKCS#11 Provider.
The problem that i found in this solution is the need of java 5.0 and the need to know the filename that have the implementation of the native library.
My problem is that the web form is to be available in internet and can be sign with more than one smart card reader, so i didn't like to impose the java 5.0 and i don't have any way of knowing the implementation filename.
Thanks in advanced,
Ricardo Constantino

Can I ask you one question?
Which driver did you specify? I mean the smarcard reader driver or the smartcard itself driver?
If the second, does it come along with the card? because as far as I know I just got the smart card but no software at all (apart the smartcard reader driver).
Can you help me out with this?
thanks in advance,
Marco

Remote desktop and smart cards

I frequently work from home using my mac to access my windows based desktop at the office. I use the microsoft remote desktop v. 1.0.3. for MAC. Now that my agency is moving to smart card identification requirements for access I need to be able to use the smart card at home to sign onto the office desktop.
The RDC for MAC does not have an option for smart card readers (as opposed to the RDC for windows version). Is there alternative software that would be simple to install on my MAC (I am not an IT sophisticate) that will give me smart card access?

Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) for Mac and Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) are two completely different tools with marginally similar capabilities. Unfortunately, as you've already discovered, neither offers Smart Card capabilities to allow you to authenticate to your Windows computer at work.
If your Mac is an Intel Mac then you could probably run Windows using Parallels or Boot Camp on your home computer and use the Windows RDC client to make your connection. I don't suggest trying to use VirtualPC if you have a PowerPC Mac simply because your Smart Card reader will most likely be USB and VirtualPC has a bad track record with USB devices.
Hope this helps!

ACR122U smart card reader not recognized after reboot...

I am new to POS Windows and have been working with wondows for ever. I was using ACR 122u contactless usb smart card reader with windows XP and communicating with it using java with no problems. Then our I changed the OS to windows Pos ready 2009 and we found out that USB card reader has to be unplugged and plugged back in after rebooting the computer. other than the OS everything else is identicle (driver, reader, java program, ect..). Can any one tell me what could cause this problem and what I can do to solve this.
I have cheked the device manager and under USB controllers it says that it is unrecognized deivice..I tried changing the reader, changing the port and(actually the reader is pluged in to a linksys external usb hub, but changing this to a internal port did not make any difference) tried chagning some settings in control panel.
1. I checked the power option of the root usb hub.
2. Changed the driver.cab to a normal driver.cab obtained from the normal xp version. Uninstall the driver and reinstall it.
So far this hasnt been working.
I hope someone could help me with this.

After extensive tests with Win 7 Embedded and ACR122U, I can confirm the same problem. It seems that reader firmware hangs and the only way to recover is to unplug and plug again the reader. We shall repeat the tests with readers from other manufacturers.
For the tests, we use a Win7 Embedded Standard PC with an ACR122U connected. We installed and configured the ACS Monitor program to start automatically with windows. We made a small utility to restart the PC every minute and we placed it on the Startup directory.
Within the first 5-10 reboots, the reader fails and the ACS monitor program shows " No reader connected" and no reaction from the reader. If we shall unplug and plug the reader again to the USB port everything works fine again.

Acrobat 9 does not recognize the smart card reader that work with other app. Can someone help me?

Hi to All,
Acrobat 9 (included in CS4 design premium) does not recognize the smart card reader. I have a smart card reader ACR38 smart card that works with all applications except Acrobat 9 pro. I tried to uninstall and reinstall it again, but when I try to insert the digital signature message is always the same, that does not find the Acrobat reader. Can someone help me?

Hi MartinR
Thank you for your reply, i have tried what you suggest, and it did not work, the i DVD opening title changed but not the embedded movie.
Perhaps it is a setting in Final Cut Express?
After capturing my footage, i open a new project then i convert all clips to anamorphic, to give me the letterbox effect, i have tried now with and without anamorphic.
In my canvas screen, the footage does not fill the square, even if i have not selected anamorphic, and fall well within the TV safe areas, but the only way to ill the canvas up is to crop it bigger, but still when i export it does not give me the full screen view.
Any ideas?

How to install a smart card reader.

I am trying to install a smart card reader for work. There are no prompts when connecting via USB or anything else.

There shouldn't be a prompt when you connect an empty card reader. Insert a memory card into it and it should appear on the Desktop.

What kind of driver do I need to use for HP Elitebook 8440p RICOH Smart Card Reader?

I'm using Arch linux x86_64 and need to install Smart Card Reader, but I can't find any drivers for it.
Best regards,
Taavi

What operating system is it? Are you sure you put the card in the correct way? [not trying to be mean here]

Use of CAC enabled sites (Smart Card Reader)

Would anyone happen to know if the PlayBook would support the use of the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader 2?
I would love to be able to access my DoD sites that require my CAC login using the BlackBerry Sled and my PlayBook. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.

Ditto!!!
I have a SCR331 and I am not able to get 10.5 to recognize my CAC card.
I do believe Leopard is recognizing and using the SCR331 but the problem
lies in the CAC Card Driver. Here are the details :
Hardware : SCR331 USB with firmware 5.22
CAC Card : Oberthur ID One v5.2
System log when CAC card is inserted into 10.5:

I hope Apple developers manage to fix this in put it in 10.5.1.
