Integrating Smart-Card readers

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 25 May 2005

Q:
Our school bought PCs with integrated Smart-Card readers. I need to integrate these PCs with SSO into Windows XP (SP2) and NetWare 6.5. I looked for information on the product home pages, but I did not see how to integrate these smart-cards with NMAS into e-Directory.

A:
You'll have to try for yourself using the "Universal Smart-Card Method (USC)". Basically, you have to generate your keys (in eDirectory or externally), then import the keys and put them on your card. For the client-side, you have to install the USC and provide the crypto-dll for your cards.
