Hi Axel,

I am trying to setup the smartcards using the sun ray's card reader. I
would like to store the username and password on the card so the users
do not have to type any username or password. I followed the
instructions I found in
http://www.filibeto.org/~aduritz/truetrue/sunray/srss-sc-pers

Well, people really are very creative, aren't they ;-)? These
instructions are wrong, especially this section:

  4. Sun Ray server Smartcard Reader Driver components:

     In order for a smart card to be personalized the Sun Ray
     built-in card reader must be visible in the "Card Readers"
     menu in the "Navigation" pane.

     In SRSS 2.0 the postinstall script for the SUNWutscr installs
     the Sun Ray server Smartcard Reader Driver components in the
     OCF server, however since the release of SRSS 3.0 this is not
     the case and for the Sun Ray card reader to be visible in
     Smartcard Console the drivers must be installed manually.

hi Axel, Craig and Michael,

i wrote that quick note back in july 2005, i am glad that finally there is some response to it. i was very interested (and i still am) in ways of enhancing the use of the smart cards used with sun rays. i did post several messages [1] to the mailing list but did not get any answer so i decided to try something myself.

i never thought this was a supported way of personalizing the smart cards just a way that produced the results that i needed. back then with my test system this method worked quite good (the notes do not mention that you need to install the PC/SC SUNWsrcpb package, contrary one of the top lines it is stated: "The OCF/ocfserv way of personalizing smartcards is used.")

it would be great if we could extend this conversation and create a more useful/correct "Guide for personalizing smart cards" on the wiki. guides for compiling and using openCT/openSC/MUSCLE apps ? tips and tricks ? these will be very very useful.


greetings,

Stoyan
