Smart Card

The following Smart Card bugs apply to Solaris 10 OS.

System Does Not Respond to Smart Card (4415094)

If ocfserv terminates and the display is locked, the system remains locked even when a smart card is inserted or removed.

Workaround: Perform the following steps to unlock your system:

  1. Perform a remote login to the machine on which the ocfserv process was terminated.

  2. Become superuser.

  3. Kill the dtsession process by typing the following in a terminal window.

    # pkill dtsession

ocfserv restarts and smart card login and capability are restored.

Edit Config File Menu Item in Smartcards Management Console Does Not Work (4447632)

The Edit Config File menu item in the Smartcards Management Console does not edit smart card configuration files that are located in /etc/smartcard/opencard.properties . If the menu item is selected, a warning is displayed which indicates not to continue unless requested by technical support.

Workaround: Do not use the Edit Config File menu item in the Smartcards Management Console. For information on smart card configuration, see the Solaris Smartcard Administration Guide.
