Hi,
I use the GnuPG card and have installed all the software, including
Scute. I configured a server for HTTPS asking for client certificates.
When the card is inserted before requesting the page, I get a request
for the user PIN for the card, and then the certificate is exchanged
with the server as desired, and everything works fine.
When the card is not inserted, my web application detects that no
certificate has been sent and shows a login-failed message. If I then
insert the card and reload the page, the card is not accessed and login
still fails. I actually have to terminate and restart Firefox for it to
use the card (shift-click on reload does not work either).
Ideally, I would like to be logged out when I remove the card and logged
in when I insert the card. Mozilla provides an unofficial JavaScript
object to detect card insertion/removal
(https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript_crypto). The
JavaScript code detects successfully insertion and removal of the card.
Using mozilla's example script, when I remove the card, the page is
reloaded, but displays an error message. I can probably hide the error
message by verifying the connection in the background (AJAX) or
reloading the page with a delay. However, when I insert the card, the
page is still reloaded but the client certificate is not used.
Is there a way to reload a page and explicitly request that the
SmartCard be accessed? Or do you have any suggestions for a work-around?
Sincerely,
Urs
