T61/X61 integrated smart card reader

Hi,
Does anyone know if the optional smart card reader on the T61/X61 laptops are based on PCMCIA or Expresscard standards, what is the exact make and model, and if they are CCID compliant?
Thanks.

Smart Card Reader

Bought my T410 (2516 CTO) running on Win 7 Pro 32 a year ago, with an integrated Smart Card Reader which should read several types (¿?) besides the SD that already recognizes perfectly.
Trouble is I can't find anywhere which are those other Memory types. Read here and there, the whole FAQs, searched for it and it seems there isn't any clue regarding this issue.
Can someone please tell me which other Memory Cards does it read?, besides SD I already checked.
I had the hope it could read a XD Card, because it fits naturally, but it doesn't.
(The driver is updated to the latest just in case anyone might comment on this issue).

hello Tweedle,

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.

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]

Token management for Integrated Smart Card

I'm trying to move a digital identity/digital signature from my laptop keystore to a smart card on my T61p with Vista 64. I've tried the Raaksign Token Management Utility Version 2.3.0.19. When I launch that utlity I run into an issue where the "Transfer ID to token" is greyed out. I know that the utility may or may not be supported on Vista 64. If this doesn't work, how do I transfer a digital ID to a token?
Thanks!

Hi, exclusive4job
I would make sure the the BIOS is up to date for your system, which can be found here. Following that, I would enter the BIOS by pressing Enter at the splash screen and then pressing F1. Once here, navigate to Security ► I/O Port Access. Make sure the Smart Card Reader is set to Enabled here.
Best of luck. Let me know how it goes,
Adam

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 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.

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.
BB-Soldier

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.

Smart Card Reader - How to turn off logon screen from reboot or wake up

I just set up the bluetooth reader on my laptop and now when my laptop wakes up or on reboot the BB smart card reader is there to logon. I rarely use my smart card reader on my laptop, i use it primarily on my phone. I don't want to unistall it but I dont need to see that screen. Any one know how to shut it off?

Most likely after installing it changed the PC log on type to the reader.
In control panel (assuming you have a windows product) you can change how a user logs on.

Problems initializing a SafeNet 330 through the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader

Hi,
I successfully managed to use the BlackBerry Smart Card Reader from my PC. Now I'm trying to initialize a SafeNet 330 smart card with the SafeNet BSEC tool from the PC. But whatever I do the initializing fails.
Has anyone successfully initialized a card this way through the BlackBerry Smart Card reader?
I'm suspecting a problem with the reader why I'll try to find my Gemplus400 reader and see if that works.
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Using the Gemplus400 reader did the trick. Looks like the BlackBerry SCR reader stumbles about setting the password during the intialization as it does set the label successfully.

How to configure Firefox to use cert from smart card reader on Sun Ray 3 Plus

I have a Sun Ray 3 Plus configured so the user needs a smart card to login (CAC card) and bring up a Java Desktop on the Sun Ray Server (Solaris 10 SPARC).
Now I am trying to get Firefox to read the certificate from the smart card reader but not sure how to go about doing that.
From searching online, it seems like I have to load a module in Firefox:
Edit -> Preferences -> Certificates -> Security Devices
But what file do I load? I'm assuming it is a file that's part of the SUNWut package?

I try to test bumblebee with:
optirun glxgears
but I get this error:
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":8".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
