[rdesktop-devel] Smartcard redirection

[Mican J. <Jin...@lg...>]

Hello,

I have problem regarding smartcard redirection REINER SCT cyberJack ecom plus.
I tried connecting with older and latest version of rdesktop from Ubuntu 14.04 64bit and Debian Wheezy 32bit and from both applications recognized the card reader but were unable to correctly read the card.

Host server I connect to is Windows 2008 R2 with cyberjack drivers installed and PCSC service shut down (even trying with on, but that is not even recommended).
On Linux side, drivers working but on host side, it does seem that redirection is making something wrong, for some applications card is just not visible.

Mainly for:
Cyberjack function test application and for A-Trust applications.

I have to mention that it works okay with Windows 8.1 connecting through Windows RDP to this server.

Means there is either something wrong with rdesktop or with pcsc-lite (even that I have been told that it is not) or connection of these two applications struggle with this reader.

For me, it is big problem, through web there are many similar questions and none of them has been solved. I would like to know where is this problem? What is the difference between how Windows RDP works and how rdesktop works... Why isn't it just USB redirection with smartcard that would be resolved at host or RDP connection?

Thank you a lot.
