To Verify a PIN for a Smart Card

Use this procedure to verify the PIN for a smart card.

Steps

1. Verify that the ocfserv daemon is enabled.

   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.

   ---

2. (Optional) If necessary, as root, enable the ocfserv daemon.

   # svcadm enable network/rpc/ocfserv

3. Insert the smart card into the card reader.

4. As root, type the following to verify the PIN for the smart card.

   # smartcard -c init -A A000000062030400 -P 'PIN_number'

   PIN_number represents the PIN set for the card and A000000062030400 is the applet ID for the SolarisAuthApplet.

   If the PIN is invalid, an Invalid PIN message is displayed. A valid PIN results in no output.
