A guide to sign in China Merchants Bank (CMBChina) on Linux: Wine Chrome + ActiveX for Chrome + User Agent Switcher
Qian Hong
I just test CMBChina online bank with Wine-1.3.36 + Chrome 16 +
ActiveX for Chrome 1.3.10, with some workarounds, it works quite well,
as the Win32 Chrome does.
Here is a shot guide, hopes you like it :)
1. Install wine-1.3.36 or later.
2. Download Google Chrome Standalone installer from :
https://www.google.com/chrome/index.html?platform=win&hl=en&standalone=1
sha1sum: 3700838267c7d2f01b3a4cf6802052967166bffa
3. Install with Wine:
$ wine ChromeStandalone.exe
3. Start chrome.exe with --no-sandbox switcher
$ cd .wine/drive_c/users/fracting/Local\ Settings/Application\
Data/Google/Chrome/Application/
$ wine chrome.exe --no-sandbox ( Workaround for Wine Bug 21232 [1] )
4. open chrome://flags, enable `Experimental Extension APIs`
5. Restart chrome.exe with --no-sandbox and --single-process switchers
( Workaround for Wine Bug 27248 )
$ wine chrome.exe --no-sandbox --single-process
6. Open https://clients2.googleusercontent.com/crx/download/OAAAAB0oUXu9c6OBWCUkFWIGJHOcSaKIoL6H_pe5o7flCAWHp0XjDQD6SHFLNMzfT74ok2KVkWHTlHgQAXfNI8QkOCIAxlKa5QdWPC_ZP2BKkT6eRO5QbWtQLGRj/extension_1_3_10.crx
, install ActiveX for Chrome v1.3.10
7. Open http://spoofer-extension.appspot.com/spoofer.crx , install
User Agent Switcher Extension
(Note: Don't switch Step 6 and Step 7, there is a new Wine bug found,
I'll report it to Wine)
8. Download and install ActiveX Control for CMBChina :
$ wget http://site.cmbchina.com/download/SafeEditInstall.exe
$ wine SafeEditInstall.exe
9. Restart chrome.exe with --no-sandbox but without --single-process
$ wine chrome.exe --no-sandbox
10. Add `https://*.cmbchina.com/*` to the white list of Chrome for ActiveX
11. Set UserAgent to IE6
12. Open https://pbsz.ebank.cmbchina.com/CmbBank_GenShell/UI/GenShellPC/Login/Login.aspx
or https://user.cmbchina.com/User/Login , now it is able to sign in CMBChina
If you can't open the above URLs, try open them in the second tab of
Wine Chrome, seems there is another Wine bug. I'll report it later.
Chrome for ActiveX should work for Wine Chromium as well, however, for
Chromium, this bug should be workaround first: Bug 27168 -
chromium-based apps can't load https sites
If you found any new bugs about Wine, please report to Wine and CC me.
Have a good day!
[1] Bug 21232 - Chrome can't load any webpage unless --no-sandbox is used

[2] Bug 27248 - cannot unpack *.crx (extensions or themes) in Chrome
unless --single-process is used

Sorry, typo.
Don't switch -> Don't swap
