    I am having a problem where after installation and while trying to apply any credentials to the card. Windows 7 gets a critical error in lsass.exe and then restarts in 1 minute. I have even gotten one machine to write a self signed cert to the card but then crashed. Any idea what I can do to troubleshoot?

      What version of windows 7 do you have ? (x86, x64, professional, ultimate, ...)
      Can is the brand of your smart card ?
      What is the scenario to reproduce the problem ?

      Did you :
      - have a smart card with no certificate
      - then use the wizard to create a certificate
      - complete the wizard
      - did the test at the end of the wizard complete ?
      - is the credential showed on the windows login screen ?
      - does it crash when you want to login this way ?

      What you can do is :
      apply the following registery patch which will enable tracing
      reboot
      run cmd.exe as admin (important)
      cd c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\Wmi
      dir
      => find the .etl file which match the time of the crash
      tracerpt EIDCredentialProvider.etl.XXX -o %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\report.txt -of csv
      => post this file

      Regards,
      Vincent

        What version of windows 7 do you have ? (x86, x64, professional, ultimate, ...)
        We are using Windows 7 Ultmate RC1 (Evaluation build 7100) both x86 and x64. The 64 bit are Microsoft Virtual Machines
        is the brand of your smart card ?
        We have tried Athena and Activ Identity cards
        What is the scenario to reproduce the problem ?
        Open your app in control panel > Tried to use preconfigured card >Made changes using the wizards to make all checks green > When we select the cert and click next We either get a blank popup or a popup that says Operation completed successfully and another popup saying there was a fatal error and computer will reboot or log off (on the TS machines). I alshat did not seem to tried to use a blank smart card and to work either.

        Did you :
        - have a smart card with no certificate
        Yes
        - then use the wizard to create a certificate
        Yes
        - complete the wizard
        Yes
        - did the test at the end of the wizard complete ?
        No
        - is the credential showed on the windows login screen ?
        No
        - does it crash when you want to login this way ?
        Cannot log in with it because it does not put the cert on the card
        What you can do is :
        apply the following registery patch which will enable tracing
        reboot
        run as admin (important) with the most recent .etl file (or the file
        before if it crashed)
        tracerpt EIDCredentialProvider.etl.XXX -o
        %USERPROFILE%\Desktop\report.txt -of csv
        I tried to do this > Open cmd with "run as administrator" >paste rundll32 EIDAuthenticationPackage,DllEnableLogging and hit enter > reboot > I do not see the log files
        => this will give me some hint.

        Then we'll try to reproduce it with the test program
        (http://vincent.letoux.free.fr/EIDTest.exe)
        (so your computer won't crash and I'll identify the failing component)
        And I'll fix the bug.

        Regards,
        Vincent

        Thanks again for your help. I would be happy to open a hared sessin with you to troubleshoot this issue. We could use crossloop or MS SharedView

          rundll32 EIDAuthenticationPackage,DllEnableLogging doesn't work, that's why I copy/paste the reg file. (this command do the same than the reg file)
          Reboot and then you should find etl files in c:\windows\system32\LogFiles\wmi

          If the files are created, you can then run your scenario.

          If I've a session, I'll do basically the same. (And I would be kicked off because of the reboot)
          You can mail me how to take control if you want at vincent.letoux@gmail.com
          In which country are you ? (I'm in Belgium)

          Note : I encountered problem with Vmware and windows seven.

      I've released a new version of eidauthenticate to fix the DllEnableLog issue.

      I've tested today with : windows seven beta 32 bits + athena smart card (driver auto installed) and it was working.
      Your log files are very important to be able to fix this issue.

      Regards,
      Vincent
