Smart Card driver installation
2
Installing the Smart Card driver on the local client
1. Verify that the /opt directory exists.
If the /opt directory does not exist, create an /opt directory. If you want to install the driver in a
different directory, create that directory. Otherwise, skip this step.
> su
> mkdir /opt
2. Copy the appropriate pscs file for your platform (Linux) from the DVD and rename the file as
pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file.
3. Log in as the superuser to untar the pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file.
> su
> cd /opt
> gunzip pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz
> tar -xvf pcsc-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar
After the pcsc_lite_1.4.101.tar file is extracted, the necessary binary, library, and smart card
drivers are stored in the /opt/pcsc directory.
4. If you installed a pcsc directory into a location other than /opt, modify the pcscctl script to
change “/opt” to the directory you specified in
step 1.
> cd <new_dir>
> vi pcscctl
Search for “/opt” and change it to the name of the new directory.
5. Create a soft link into the system directory. This is to support the automatic restart of the pcscd
daemon upon system restart.
If you installed the pcsc directory into the /opt directory, just create the soft link. Otherwise,
use the name of the new directory in place of /opt.
S.u.s.e> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscd
S.u.s.e> chkconfig --add pcscd
or
redhat> ln –s /opt/pcsc/pcscctl /etc/init.d/pcscd
redhat> chkconfig --add pcscd
NOTE
Before you enter chkconfig --add pcscd, you can enter chkconfig –list |
grep pcscd to verify that the pcscd file is already on the list. If it already exists, you do
not need to enter chkconfig –add pcscd. After you reboot the system, you should
expect the following links under /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d, and
/etc/rc5.d.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jul 28 01:50 S94pcscd -> ../init.d/pcscd
NOTE
For some Linux vendors, the Smart Card driver may come with the operating system. In
this case, extra system configuration may be needed. For more information, refer to
“Detecting and correcting a default Linux Smart Card driver” on page 35.
