Smart card with Thinkvantage Client Security Solutions doesnt work

Dear all,
I have the Lenovo Gemalto Expesscard54 Smart card reader (41N3043). I purchased some .Net smart cards from Gemalto also. I have installed the drivers for both the smart card reader and the smart card minidrivers, as well as the PKCS#11 Drivers from Gemalto.
However when I try to setup a smart card using Thinkvanage Client Security, the selection remains greyed out. What is the problem?
When I try to run the executable css_smartcard.exe, I am told PKCS#11 Module is not installed. How do I install the module as there is no command to choose where the driver path is.
Essentially I am wondering how to use smart cards on the client security software. The documentation, even the CSS deployment guide, has so little information on this.

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.

A problem with Client Security Solution patch for Mozilla Firefox3

After I updated Client Security Solution to 8.20, the password manager cannot work in FF3 again.When I tried to reinstall the patch, it asked me whether to overwrite the files or cancel. Then it indicates 'This patch has already been installed on this computer', but the problem exsits.

Borntofly, I am glad that you brought this up as I have not been able to successfully use FF3 with CSS 8.1 or 8.2 and have provided feedback in this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.id=937&view=by...
As much as I would like to upgrade to FF3, I have not had any success in either using the manual configuration changes noted in the above thread or by using the CSS Patch for FF3 provided by Lenovo on 8/6/08 found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70132
This patch appears to duplicate the manual efforts provided by member KTP in message 12 in the above provided link from what I can see.
I have never had an issue using the TV password manager and IE7. It is a very reliable combination.
I have no issues at all using FF 2.0.0.16, CSS 8.1 or 8.2 (now on 8.2), and Thinkvantage (TV) Password Manager 3.00.0106.00 (came with CSS 8.2). I have never had Lenovo Password Manager on my T60. Everything works reliably well with this combination.
In 3 hours of work yesterday, I was able to get TV Password Manager to show up in the FF3 add-ons as TV Password Manager 3.01 and this is the only way I was able to make it work, but only for a single browser session:
1. Tools --> Add-Ons
2. Disable TV Password Manager, then restart FF3
3. Tools --> Add-Ons
4. Enable TV Password Manager, then restart FF3
5. TV Password Manager will work for the duration that I am using the browser session
Once I close FF3 and reopen it, TV Password Manager no longer works. The only method I have found to "reset" everything is to perform the above sequence, but again it only works for the single browser session. It is very consistent. Although in does not show this in the Add-Ons page, it almost appears that the TV Password Manager add-on is disabled after I close the browser and needs to be manually disabled then enabled as noted above. If this is due to a conflict with other software on my laptop, I have not been able to determine this.
In my efforts yesterday, I spent time uninstalling CSS 8.1 or 8.2, FF, and even removed registry entries related to these packages in order to start with a fresh install, all without any success. I tried fresh installations and added the manual changes promoted by KTP and also tried fresh installations using the Lenovo patches, all without success. I made attempts to troubleshoot to root cause by removing all add-ons except TV Password Manager, and also tried preventing certain software from installing at startup via msconfig, as well as multiple settings changes within FF3, all to no avail. Again FF 2.0.0.16 continues to work very well with little effort on my part. I simply install the software and ensure that TV Password Manager 2.0 in installed in the add-ons and that's it.
In the above FF3 thread, it appears that others have had success with KTP's changes so I am a little frustrated that I cannot make FF3 and TV Password Manager work reliably. I have FF2 and IE7 working so I have plenty of good alternatives at this time. I will post this at the FF3 above as well to see if anyone has any feedback.

Unable to recognize integrated smartcard reader by Client Security Solution

Hi, I have a W510 with an integrated smartcard reader. I tried to setup a new smart card, but at Client security solution ver. 8.30 over a windows 7 64 bits, is not recognized. Accessing the CSS software, I choose the Advance menu, an the option "Setup smartcard" always remains not highlighted, that means that the CSS software doesn't recognize the Smartcard/smartcard reader. The smart card reader driver is recognized by the system devices and it's installed well, the system said that is working correctly but I'm not able to access the "setup smartcard" option at CSS SW. I updated everything from Lenovo site and still doesn't work. Someone has any clue or idea about this? I'm trying to setup a Encryption Smart Card, I don't have idea about what kind, but it's new from an Omnibook (a pack with 5 smartcards) and it comes label with "an imagineCard Solution" label. it has a round chip instead a square chip like the credit cards.
I really appreciate all your advices about this.

Yes, CSS software has the option to setup a smart card (as is mentioned at CSS deployment guide from Lenovo for CSS 8.3), but the software doesn't recognized the smartcard once I plug into the Thinkpad. The main purpose for the smart card will be authenticate the user using smartcard allowing to work when it's inserted and stop to work once it's retired from the laptop. The chip and all security options are enable using CSS.
Please let me know how to solve this or give me the software/middleware to recognize the smart card for W510.
Thnaks in advance.

Nokia mobile VPN Client - split tunneling

Hi
I'm trying to get Nokia mobile CPN Client working with split tunneling on a Cisco firewall.
I have full access to all on my internal lan's when I make the VPN tunnel, so tunnel is up and working.
But I do not have access to anything in the internet, it tries to route internet requests through the VPN. I have set split tunneling on the Cisco firewall and it is working as intended on all other devices.
Any ideas of what I have missed?
My policy is based on the bundled Cisco_ASA_pskxauth.pol from the Nokia mobile VPN Client Policy Tool.

Hi vgta2k:
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is S60 5th edition phone.

It runs different version of Nokia Mobile VPN client than Symbian^3. You can find the correct version at the download page:

Just use the device selector and pick your phone.
You can also find Nokia Mobile VPN Client nowadays at Ovi Store.

T500, how do I disable "client security password manager" popups?

hello.
I have recently noticed an extremely invasive and irritating popup occur frequently upon opening random folders.
http://img249.imageshack.us/img249/4913/47354829.jpg
I honestly do not know what I have done to trigger this, but I absolutely need to disable it. When UAC appeared warning me about this application, I disallowed it because I did not know what this thing is or what it does. I found out it was from Lenovo but I cannot figure out how to disable it or uninstall it. I do not want this feature, it does not even function correctly. The installation fails becaue it is missing a critical file, but I do not care. I do not want to install anything, I want it GONE. I don't know how much of the thinkvantage suite I would have to remove to get rid of this, I just want it gone, I don't want unexpected popups every time I open a folder, I do not need this feature or whatever it provides. I want to remove it, I cannot find instructions on how to remove this. I saw a tutorial to remove this software but it involves bring up the Thinkvantage menu and selecting"Thinkvantage Technologies" but there is no "Thinkvantage Technologies" option presented on my T500.
If anyone can provide any insight on how to get rid of this extremely irritating piece of software I would greatly appreciate it. It doesn't even function correctly and is extemely frustrating to deal with. It is malware, I would like it gone. Thankyou for your time.
edit: I have not activated my "Security Device" so it appears I cannot access the Client Security Solution which seems to be required to disable this popup. I do NOT want to actiavte anything because I do not want to want the risk of rendering my computer inoperable due to buggy first party software.

I had run into a similar problem. I had windows 7 on a t500 which started giving all such popups every time you access control panel or explorer. I tried system restore it gave an error. I tried uninstalling client security from control panel, same popup. Finally I downloaded an uninstaller from download.com called "revo uninstaller". It removes the files and registry entries. Things seems to work on my end now. Will report is any problem comes up

Client security solutions TMP error message on a t60 with XP

I just installed client security solutions and I’m getting the follow error message. When I go to programs and click no security solutions opens. This t60 is new to me so I’m not sure which questions to ask.
I have the fingerprint reader working
What should I ask or tell
Any advice?
Thanks

Who has client security, restore and fingerprint reader all working together? I did updates and when one works the other doesn’t. If I could find all three that work I would be happy. If you give me your versions numbers that works on yours that would be great. I have a T60 running XP

Mobile Sync Client does not save password properly

The Mobile Sync Client (simple_sync_android application provided with Oracle DMS) does not appear to save password correctly. When you select the checkbox to Save Password, my guess is that it stores an encrypted password but then does not return the decrypted version of the password. As a result login fails with the error
Encountered error: Server error, id = 2,001: "USER_INVALID in external auth; logon denied."
For details, check out the "My Experience" section at http://oracledms.blogspot.in/2012/08/sample-app-step-2-install-mobile-sync.html
Obvious workaround: Type in the password again and click Sync

What is the matter in using guids in a smart client against server scenario

I am developing an application which consists in a smart client against a Server -with oracle db-. We use typed datasets to manage data between them. Our first aproach is using autonumeric, but we have found lot of issues: what happends when the pk comes back changed to the client? and a few more.
I think guids were invented for this scenario, but i would want to know your opinion about them, specially performance issues.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
A benefit of using OID for names resolution is that it allows you to centralize net8 naming (i.e., tnsnames) information in the same place (OID) where other types of administrative information (about users, enterprise groups, enterprise roles, etc) gets stored. If you are more comfortable using tnsnames.ora files for net8 naming, that is perfectly fine!
An important reason that Oracle had for providing Net8 naming functionality in OID is that the legacy 'Oracle Names' functionality of Oracle 7 will eventually be desupported. This is discussed in metalink Note #135696.1 on http://metalink.oracle.com .
Hope this helps.

X61 - Vista Business - Client Security Solution Error - There was a problem connecting to the TPM

During startup my x61 has been displaying the following message, 'Client Security Solution' - "There was a problem connecting to the TPM (security device) ont his computer. It is possile that anti-virus or firewall software is blocking the connection. A missing or disabled device driver could also cause this problem. Please refer to the online documentation for more information".
I have spent an extraordinary amount of time and effort to find identify the cause and a solution for this problem. It occurs whether or not virus software is enabled or disabled and numerous calls to Lenovo, Symantec, Kaspersky, and Microsoft have resulted in finger pointing and no answers. None of the vendors acknowledge the problem yet this same issue is a significant topic of concern as found in various blogs and 'help' sites. Lenovo thought it was hardware and changed the motherboard. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft since it was a Vista issue. Microsoft told me to call Lenovo since Vista Business was preinstalled on the machine. Lenovo told me to call Microsoft and so it goes. I removed Symantec's anti-virus and replaced it with Kaspersky.
The strangest thing is that the module works intermitently and it seems that everytime a Lenovo update is performed (via Thinkvantage) the problem reoccurs for sometime.
Does anyone out there have an understanding of the cause and a potential solution???

I have the same problem on an X 60 platform, which only surfaced in the last two weeks subsequent to running all of the Lenovo updates. Prior to this, I had reinstalled all programs, starting with the Recovery Disks for the Think Pad. Everything, including start up, was exceptionally fast. Once I ran the most recent BIOS updates, along with several others, this error message surfaced. It is intermittent, however, and I have not noted an issue.
In reviewing several other Message Boards, I have seen this issue raised several times. Here is a link to a thread where the individual did achieve a solution through Lenovo, but their response is nonspecific as to what they did: (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=T400_series_ThinkPads&message.id=7143&query.id=1...

T61p - Please wait while Windows configures Client Security Password - Manager

My T61p system is fully updated, however I continue to get "Please with while windows configures Client Security Password - Manager." and then the computer trys to install
css_manager_vista_tpm.exe
over and over again.
What is the problem here and how can I solve?
How can I contact Lenovo-Thinkpad to assist?
The problem has reoccured even after I did a system restore to an earlier date.
It seems to initiate when I first boot up and then open up "Pictures"
Please help.
Thanks

Well, I take everything back. After removing all password entries and re-installing/rebooting, it worked for a while. But now it is doing it all over again. I tried to call techincal support, but they then said I would have to pay for software support and they only support hardware, and to re-install the OS. Great, jeez, I couldn't have tried that myself, and that is so simple and takes no time at all (detecing sarcasm yet?)
I do a lot of work for large corporations that are watching the IBM=>Lenovo takeover very closely to see if they are going to drop Thinkpads altogether and go with another laptop vendor. This type of weak support does not bode well. The person I was on the phone with was rude, hard to understand, and even told me there was no place to escalate the call to.
There is no replacement for customer support. It is sad to see no Lenovo involvement in this forum, and don't make the mistake of thinking this is an isolated problem at this time. It is growing.
Though Thinkpads are great Laptops, Toshiba used to have the market, but their support or should I say lack of it led to their downfall and position of leadership loss.
It will be no different if Lenovo continues to act like a machine churner.

Client Security Password manager not working

Hi All,
Have a T500 (model 2081CTO) running Win 7 Prof, with fingerprint reader. Had installed and had working Enhanced Client Security, was web aspect of capturing / prompting userids and passwords just fine.
Needed to reset IE8 to default. That stopped Client Security Password web aspect.
Uninstalled then re-installed & setup Enhanced Client Security. Had backed up / reinput password list.
*** Web aspect of capturing / prompting userids and passwords is not working ***
Not being prompted to save a userid / password
A known userid / password is not being entered into what should be a known site.
Doesn't even seem as if enhanced client security is running - no icon in system tray. Yet Client Security Solution shows it enabled.
What / How do I get enhanced client security to again start, prompt to save userid/password and to reinput for a known site?
Obviously not keen to wipe machine and start again...
Am also really hissed that I cannot ring Lenovo Support and actually talk to someone about this!
Thanks for any meaningful suggestions and assistance.

Client Security solution not working with fingerprint, Fingerprint Tab is unavailable

Just recieved my Thinkpad T430 today and have done all updates on the system. I am trying to use Client Security Solution with my fingerprint however it will not allow me to do so. Whenever I go into password manager I get the message, "The requested operation requires fingerprint authentication, but the device is not installed. Please make sure the device is connected and retry the option". Any idea as to how I can fix this? Currently the fingerprint only works to logon to windows (Note: I'm Running Windows 7 Pro x64).
