Hi Tim,
Thanks for the mail.
I am still not understanding Coolkey well, so please bear with me..
I use the apani VPN client on fedora core. I need to login to our VPN using
a http port on the local machine (http://localhost:<port>)
To login, I need to enter the 'pass-code'. To generate this 'pass-code',
I currently use a stand-alone calculator-like device. This device has the
activcard inserted. When I enter some PIN on this device, it generates
the 'pass-code'.
Instead of this calculator-like device, I am trying to use the 'SCM-241'
PCMCIA smart card reader so that I can always keep it plugged
into the laptop.
Now, how can I enter the PIN and generate the 'pass-code' on this
SCM-241 card reader? On Windows, my colleagues use 'activcard gold'
software.
Can I do the same thing using 'libcoolkeypk11'? If you know of any
document on how to generate the pass-code using Coolkey, would you
please let me know?
Thanks,

suggestion, install the app on an FC4 or RHAS 30 system and then call their
help desk and ask how to get their software (the VPN directly or the
'calculator-like device') to work with a pkcs11 connection to a smart card.
They fail to give enough info on the website to determine if the software can
interface to pkcs11 (what coolkeys provides from the CAC).
an in the dark guess... you need to point the 'calculator-like device's
configuration towards using libcoolkeypk11.so for it's pkcs11 provider, but I
have no Idea how to do that.
so is apani VPN supposed to be a MIL network approved VPN?

Coolkey provides a PKCS#11 module (libcoolkeypk11). If your VPN client
will load PKCS#11 modules, you can replace the ActivIdentity PKCS#11
module with that library and all should work correctly.
