Smart Card driver installation
Windows operating systems do not require smart card drivers to be installed separately; the driver
is bundled with the operating system. However, you must install a smart card driver for the Linux
operating systems. You must install both the special USB Chip/Smart Card Interface Device (USB
CCID) and the PC/SC IFD driver. You can download the source code and compile it from one of the
following websites:
• USB CCID (ccid-1.3.7.tar.bz2)
Open Source URL: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid.html.
• Muscle PC/SC IFD Driver (pcsc-lite-1.4.101.tar.gz)
Open Source URL: https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group id=30105.
The Encryption Manager Client within Network Advisor provides the binary code on both platforms
for installation. You must uncompress or untar the file depending on the platform. The procedures
for the local client and the remote client configurations follow. The
thirdparty/pscs-lite-1.4.101-linux-x86.tar.gz file can be found on the Network Advisor DVD.
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.
