Regarding one of the emails to the cygwin list
Changes since OpenSSH 5.3 ========================= Features: .... * Remove the libsectok/OpenSC-based smartcard code and add support for PKCS#11 tokens. This support is automatically enabled on all platforms that support dlopen(3) and was inspired by patches written by Alon Bar-Lev. Details in the ssh(1) and ssh-add(1) manpages. .... I dont know if you have tried this, but i was unable to get this to work with my smartcard. And I would *love* for it to work. cavan...@jc-8730w:~$ ssh-keygen -D ActivClient/acpkcs211.dll dlopen ActivClient/acpkcs211.dll failed: No such file or directory cannot read public key from pkcs11 cavan...@jc-8730w:~$ cd ActivClient/ cavan...@jc-8730w:~/ActivClient$ ssh-keygen -D acpkcs211.dll no keys cannot read public key from pkcs11 Seems like both the dlopen code has issues finding the libraries and even once found it doesnt seem able to load keys. From the whatever its worth dept. I have been able to get putty (CAC custom build) to use this pkcs dll to load my cert from. FYI. If you dont have hardware, it looks like one vendor is offering free equipment to open source devs. http://www.gooze.eu/feitian-pki-free-software-developer-card -- John Cavanaugh -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
