Hello. Today I've installed the final Driver-Update (3.4) from ReinerSCT for their cyberJack Cardreader Series. <http://support.reiner-sct.de/downloads/cyberJack_Installer_3.4.dmg> The Surprise: All other Cardterminals were dead after Installation. The ReinerSCT-Installer removes the ifd-ccid.bundle of the Mac OS X System without a word. No Note, no warning, nothing. Chris -- This e-mail is digital signed.

Anyone integrated Smart Card Service logon with Open Directory ? Been looking for some how to's but no luck so far. I imagine it would be a matter of modifying the LDAP Authorization attributes, unless password server supports this which i dont think it does. __________________________ Michele (Mike) Hjorleifsson ACSA/ACT, MCT/MCP, CCA/CCI PH: 772-224-8913 FX: (888) 451-2879 This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual entity to whom they are addressed.

CCID drivers auto-start issues on the Snow Leopard
by Wang Yongqing 29 Sep '09

Hi, I have got the Snow Leopard OS on my Macbook and want to use the CCID driver on it. But when I plug-in the reader, there is no any information. So I cancel the autostart of pcscd and run the command in the terminal: "pcscd -f". The reader can not be used and the terminal give the information "pcscd: posix_spawn: pcscd: No Such file or directory". But the reader can run successfully when I run the command "/usr/sbin/pcscd -f". So I want to know whether I must disable the autostart of pcscd if I want to use the reader on the Snow Leopard? Wait for your reply. Thank you. Best regards, Yongqing

PCSC framework 32/64-bit issue
by Martin Centner 10 Sep '09

10 Sep '09

Hi! I'm wondering if anybody on this list has an idea what the reason for the strange behavior of the Java smartcard I/O API in 64-bit mode described below might be. Java smartcard I/O is shipped with Java SE 6.0 and above. It uses a JNI library to communicate with PCSC-Lite (a part of the SmartcardServices framework as far as I understand). When Java is running in 32-bit mode the communication between Java and pcscd seems to works fine. However, when Java is running in 64-bit mode (which is the default in Snow Leopard) the communication seems to fail somewhere between pcscd and the Java smartcard I/O. pcscd is switched to 32-bit mode as soon as a card terminal with a 32- bit driver is connected. When Java is running in 64-bit mode the JNI library libj2pcsc and pcsc-lite are also loaded in their 64-bit versions. Thus, the 33/64-bit transition takes place between pcscd and the pcsc-lite library. So I first thought, it might be a general issue of the pcsc-lite library and pcsc-deamon in a mixed 32/64-bit environment. However, testing with this very simple C program attached linking to the pcsc-lite library showed that it works fine when run in 32-bit and 64-bit mode. Running this very simple Java program attached shows different results when running in 32-bit and 64-bit mode. In 32- bit mode it finds all connected card terminals and is able to connect to inserted cards. In 64-bit mode it fails to list the card terminals and/or fails to connect to the inserted card. Any ideas? Thanks a lot, Martin
