We have developed some homegrown tools for smartcard management with OpenCA. 
Our environment is mainly Windows XP and Vista, Aladdin eToken and the 
application is two factor authentication to OpenVPN. OpenVPN is used as a shim 
to get two factor auth for two legacy Windows fat clients.

We have a tool to enrol a new user by an administrator: generate the RSA 
keypair on the eToken using a utility built using the eToken SDK, create a CSR 
using openSSL engine option, sscep the CSR to the OpenCA RA. The tool can be 
used later to pickup the issued cert and store it on the eToken. We also added 
token  password recovery, user self renewal, delegated token/cert issuance. 
These are being used in a pilot with about 30 staff.

With this, we're still looking at Microsoft's ILM/CLM product since it has a 
lot of smartcard management functionality built in.

Subject: [Openca-Users] Smartcard implementations


Hi all,

My next hurdle with OpenCA (along with my many other hurdles) is to generate 
smartcard certificates. I was wondering how others managed to do this. Any 
lessons learned? Software addons that are needed? We will be issuing the 
smartcards from a central office. We want to generate the certificates from 
OpenCA but be able to use them in Windows and other operating systems. We do 
not want to use Windows CA services for several political and technological 
reasons. Any help or feedback would be appreciated.

Dave
