The Smartcard Console is the graphical user interface (GUI) used to manage the Solaris Smartcard software.
Note - Solaris Smartcard can also be administered from the command line. Both command line and Smartcard Console instructions are included in this document.
Note - If you log in as a regular user, you can run Smartcard, but you can only perform two tasks: Load Applets and Configure Applets.
The following command provides the status of the service.
# svcs network/rpc/ocfserv
Note - Before you make any changes to Smartcard, you must make sure that the ocfserv daemon is enabled.
# svcadm enable network/rpc/ocfserv
# /usr/dt/bin/sdtsmartcardadmin &
Note - Before you su to root, you might need to disable X server access control, because root is not granted access by default. Disable X server access control by running /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +hostname where hostname is the local host. After starting the Smartcard Console, run xhost -hostname to enable access control again.
If you are currently running CDE under your login name, exit CDE and log in as root.
