Help needed..
user name

I'd like to get SmartCard login / web auth working on my laptop. I've got a working reader (actually 2) and I need to buy 1 or 2 (preferably 2) cards to use. 

They don't have to be fancy, just basic smart cards that I can store PGP/SSH/SSL certs..

Compatibility is the main concern here. It appears that a lot of the newer cards don't work. 

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

We're here at my other workplace are using smartcards for
web auth.
This works over the pkcs11 interface provided by opensc. The
browser
uses the pkcs11 lib to handle the smarcard and offers the
cerd found there.
Currently only firefox supports this operation under
non-win32 platform.

You need to have your client cert signed by the server's CA,
and at the
server side you will need to verify the client's cert for
the signiture.
If the web service is unable to find a good signiture then
it will refuse
the connection. From script you will be able to access the
client's cert's
data fields somehow.

From apache+php this is done throught env vars iirc.
Pound[1] exports these
data into headers, so this can work in many ways.

We're using Aladdin eTokens. The ones marked with 4.2B does
NOT work
as we tested them, and older versions are not available by
now.
The latest recent OpenSC release had some comments about
this, but
I had no time to test them now. Though, I already had my
morning
coffee, and i can grab one of those newer cards for you to
check it out 

But it's best to use older cards, since they are working
better.
Note: we are using usb-tokens. these are reader+card
built-together
forms.
