[Opensc-devel] opensc-pkcs11 in FireFox conflicting with closed-source PKCS11 provider

[Alex S. <ml...@os...>]

Hi,

I am using OpenSC and pkcs11 with firefox to access some websites using 
my personal certificate and it works pretty well. But also i do have a 
cart with proprietary pkcs11 driver. It works fine if FireFox is closed, 
but if it is running it waits forever, probably trying to get exclusive 
access. This card is not supported by OpenSC project, so for me it is a 
little unclear why this happens. It seems that this provider is trying 
to get some kind of exclusive access to pcscd and failing if it is not 
possible.

Is it possible somehow to tell OpenSC to completely ignore this card 
based on it ATR? Or any other recommendations to prevent this issue, 
e.g. prevent firefox from auto scan? I am ready to send all the patches 
if needed.
