Greetings:
Is it possible to read the configured max number of incorrect PIN attempts configured on a PKCS15 smart card programmatically? We are experiencing an issue with the ATHENA ASE smartcard for Windows OS login. This particular card does not apparently return a "LOCKED" flag when the PIN has been locked out. As a workaround for this limitation I would like to programmatically read the configured number of max incorrect PIN attempts and implement a counter. If the user performs the number of unsuccessful authentication attempts equal to the value read, the user will be notified that their PID "may" be locked out. By the way, I should mention that we are using a minidriver for Windows XP to provide this functionality. Has anybody else experienced this issue with the Athena smart card?
