Dear All,
I have a requirement where there will be terminals (thin clients) that will be connected to a terminal server. The terminals connect to the terminal server using XServer. All the processes that need to be executed on the terminal gets executed on the terminal server it self.


One of the application , a java applet that is embedded in a webpage should talk to the smartcard reader connected to the terminal. When i try to connect the reader thru my applet the application is searching for a smartcard on the server and not on the terminal.

We are using the pcsc-lite 1.0.1 that is downloaded from this site. We want to modify our application such that it establishes a connection with the terminal's pc/sc manager and not the server's.

My basic doubt is "
Can this be possible with pcsc-lite 1.0.1? Or should i download the new 1.1.1 rpm (Redhat) and install?
Is it a must that the pcsc daemons run on both terminal aswell as server?


We tried with two standalone systems with Redhat 8.0 with one system having the smartcard reader connected and pc/sc daemon running. No card reader is connected and no pc/sc daemon is runnig on the other system
I used the "formaticc.c" from your site for testing.


One the system with smartcard reader and daemon connected and with hostname it returned the reader name connected to that pc. Even when i changed the host name to some other IP (of the second system) the application returned the same reader name that is connected to the first PC.

When i ran the same application on the second pc without reader and pcsc resource manager there was an error message saying that context could not be established.

Please let me know what i should do to over come the problem

Appreciating your quick response at your earliest convenience.

Thanks and regards
Aswarth
