I am trying to use my smart card on a Hyper-V guest-Running Windows 8.1-Microsoft image-Joined to the domain-I don't see a smart card reader in device manager, but not sure if I should in Hyper-V Guest
With a host-Running 8.1-Not joined to the domain-With integrated card reader-With TPM enabled-The smart card reader appears in device manager and has the latest driver-The smart card appears in device manager when it is plugged in-Connected with wired LAN
I have tried an external USB card reader and get the same result.My card works on other machines that are not Hyper-V guests.I have tried installing the smart card drivers from Lenovo on the guest which does not help.I have searched ITWEB and binged for a solution but can't find one.
I have upgrade to Mac OS 14 and my smart card reader quit working. Works in safe mode and while booting up. Then stops functioning.Allow Accessories to connect is not visible. However, I can search for the function but not select it.MacBook Air M1, Sonoma Beta.
Using an IOGEAR GSR20, can login to a citrix remote desktop instance but it crashes immediately and the card reader "green light" goes offs. Only a restart will restore it but the same thing happens. I've noticed software installers that accept PIV/smart card pins will crash on entering it too.
I do not know what else to do. I went through every step at least twice. I uninstalled and reinstalled certificates. I updated the drivers. No dice. Everything was working fine a few weeks ago. My card reader and CAC works on other computers without an issue so it is definitely an issue with the macOS Sonoma.
I saw there was a new Public Release Beta out. Has anyone tried it to see if it resolves this issue? I'm usually able to get my smart card to work in the browser, but soon as it launches a third-party application like Citrix Workspaces, the virtual environment just hangs; as described by someone else in this thread.
Mine has stopped working also. I can view the USB Card readers in the System Report, but it appears the readers aren't reading my actual card. Likely a firmware issue. Tried on two different card readers. 2020 MBP M1, Sonoma Developer Beta 2.
The latest update push did not solve our issue. I really relied on my MacBook Air M1 for telework. Now, I have to use a Microsoft device. Not good at the moment. I might need to roll back off the beta program until this issue with trusted USB devices is solved.
The smart card and reader works perfectly in Ventura and worked perfectly in the first developer beta of macOS Sonoma, but somewhere either beta 2 or beta 3 of the developer previews it stopped working.
I have replicated this with a clean install on different Mac hardware and the same issue. This is a Sonoma issue and not a reader or Mac hardware issue as the same reader and smart card continue to work well if I plug them into Ventura machine.
Just to confirm, a clean install of the released public version on 27th September - and still smart cards are NOT working, whereas they work perfectly on Ventura (and did on initial developer builds of Sonoma)
Yeah, it's not completely fixed for me, either. I'm on the RC, or Gold Master, or wherever we are at now. I can use the card reader to open sites in Safari, and to log into our virtual desktop, but once I do that, I can't use it for anything inside the virtual desktop. It can see the card reader but can't read the tokens off it. This same computer (2022 M1 MBP) worked fine the day prior to updating to the RC. No changes to hardware or software apart from the OS itself, and it stopped passing card reader credentials through to the virtual machine.
I GOT IT WORKING in macOS 14.1 Beta (23B5046f) by INSTEAD of connecting by USB, I connected with BlueTooth using the GBDM App (Gemalto Card Reader for Barclays iPortal login) and connecting the card reader by BLUETOOTH (which has NEVER been possible in Ventura, it always failed to connect)
I had been using a Saicoo card reader (FBA_S0201B-SSM) which was working fine on macOS 13 (Ventura). Upon upgrading to Sonoma 14.0, the reader stopped functioning. I then purchased the Belkin F1DN008U card reader and it works out of the box with no additional drivers. I also have heard success with the Identiv SCR3310v2.0 card reader on macOS 14.0. Hope this helps if someone is encountering the same issue. It appears like there may be some card readers that stop functioning on macOS 14.0 due to the built in driver not being compatible.
Microsoft provides a driver library that contains a set of routines that standardize most of the functions that a smart card reader driver must perform. Vendor-supplied reader drivers must call these routines to perform the following actions:
The driver library processes most of the IOCTL requests that the resource manager sends to the reader driver. The Smart Card Driver IOCTLs section, lists the IOCTLs that the driver library processes on behalf of the reader driver.
I built a new Windows 10 system (non HP) but wanted to keep old keyboard because it has convenient built in smart card reader (KUS0133). Without drivers card was not recognized at all. Then I installed HP Smartcard Keyboard Driver 1.2.0.0 Rev.A (sp93518) from official HP website. However it does not work properly. Sometimes after a restart the reader works for a while but using it once to log in appears to ruin something and card is not detected anymore. This driver is fairly new and I would like to try some older drivers just in case.
I am having issues authenticating to a client machine. I am using Dameware Mini Remote Control version 7.5.9.1. I have attached a picture so you can see the exact error I am receiving. I can log onto the remote machine via the Windows NT Challenge/ Response option. It won't seem to authenticate the smart card for whatever reason. I have checked for the DWRCSS.dll in %systemroot%\DWRCS on the local and remote machines. It is in both locations. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I logged onto the client machine and the Smart Card service is running. I was also able to use RDP to get into the machine via smart card log on. I'm not sure what this could mean as I'm not very familiar with Dameware. Any further advice would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.
Any further input would be appreciated with this issue. I am able to access the machines via the windows NT challenge / response using the current logon credentials. OF course this leaves us with the issue of not having admin credentials on the machines.
IT administrators can set up their Windows domain to allow YubiKeys to be used as smart cards for login to connected Windows systems. Use the YubiKey Manager for Windows, which includes both a Graphical User Interface and a Command Line Tool to create PIN Unlock Keys (PUK)s on YubiKey devices for customers that require the use of a PUK.
The YubiKey Smart Card Minidriver enables users and administrators to use the native Windows interface for certificate enrollment, managing the YubiKey smart Card PIN, and smart card authentication on Windows.
NOTE: Use the YubiKey Manager to configure both the SmartCard (PIV) functionality of the YubiKey as well as all other YubiKey applications. With this application you only need to install one configuration software for your YubiKey. Note that the Security Key Series are FIDO devices only, if you want to use a YubiKey as a PIV Smartcard then refer to the other types of YubiKeys available.
I have a Dell Latititude D630 and I am rather new with arch and arch based distros, and I was wondering if it is posible to setup my arch laptop to login with a PKI smart card and also use the smart card to store other private certs.. The reader is not working for me as of this writing, the reader is the O2Micro OZ77Cxx USB SmartCard Controller, and is built into the laptop, could anyone offer some support here?
I read guides about setting up GDM to login with a smartcard certificate, e.g. this one, but never tried it myself. Anyhow, you need to be lot more specific on what you run on the system, what you have tried, what works, what works not, etc. Maybe you want to open another thread in a different bbs category for that though, as it will not terribly related to kernel & hw anymore.
I know in this forum many of you guys can make your own smart card reader driver work.
Can you help me find out the issue here or give me a sample source code of virtual smart card reader driver that is able to run on Windows 10.
Are you running a 64-bit or a 32-bit system? Did you build the driver to match that? They must match.
My target system is Window 10 pro, 1903, build 18362.30, 64 bit system. And my Window Driver Kit is 10.0.18362.1, it is match with os version 1903.
I got it from -us/windows-hardware/drivers/download-the-wdk.
I have also installed some other sample driver successfully. So, I think this is not a cause of problem.
recently we got smart cards and readers to be able to connect to VPN with Cisco AnyConnect. Readers are Identiv SCR3500 A. When plugged in system recognizes this correctly in opensc-tool -l. However any operation related to the card fails with Unsupported card message (for example opensc-tool -r 0 -n) or messages likeSlot 0 (0x0): (GetSlotInfo failed, CKR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED) in pkcs11-tool for example.
This leads to the idea of wrong driver being used. Identiv does have their own driver on their website here but after following the steps nothing changes (it's deploying libscmccid.so.5.0.35 into pcsc structure : /usr/local/pcsc/drivers/scmccid.bundle/Contents/Linux
