Hi Chris, I use OpenCA with Gemplus GemSafe Xpresso smartcards. My operator environment is Windows XP Pro + IE 6.x/7.x + Gemsafe RTE. I have no problems with generating request for certificate in OpenCA PUB interface. I did not preinitialize smartcards, just put them in reader, fill in the form, choose crypto provider (Gemsafe) and submit.
I heard that cards is not working (or just partially working) in Windows environment when they are initialized in opensc (Unix environment). Good luck.

Subject: [Openca-Users] Smartcard usage Hi, I'm trying to use Smartcards with Openca in internet explorer. When I'm at the stage of selecting the plugin, I'm using either: - the Microsoft cryptographic Smard card basic module - in which case I'm always getting the message that the inserted smartcard cannot be used... - the (only working) GEMSAFE provider, which tells me 'The smartcard does not contain the required keys'... The Gemsafe16K card is inistialised with opensc, I tried it with and without preinstalled private keys. The other cards are not initialised- therefore probably not working, have to sort that out yet. Does anyone have experience with this procedure and can give me any hints? I want to be able to write keys, and later (after issuing...) the certificates on a smartcard, without manual/administrative involvement... just user based. Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance, Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
