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