Smart Card Bugs

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. Use rlogin to connect to the system on which the ocfserv process terminated.

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


    % pkill dtsession
    

The ocfserv process restarts and smart card login and functionality will be restored.

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