Escalated (previously cross-filed) case #00779070 in Red Hat customer portal

Asha, I just ordered this reader for both you and I, you should get it Tuesday.

To avoid confusions: Patch from attachment #890964 [details] makes the reader working

Maybe it would be simpler to patch the libifd-cyberjack.bundle to also support the libhal: naming scheme (if you have the source code of the driver).

This would avoid changing pcsc-lite.

Ludovic, I do not get your point: If I am not mistaken this patch does not
exclusively affect the libifd-cyberjack.bundle but possibly every non-ccid
driver? So this might not only add cyberJack support but some more. Further
more my patch is a really stupid backport from a newer pcsc-lite upstream
release. And given that bug #887719 might cause a patch for the pcsc-lite
package anyway...one more patch should not hurt, shouldn't it? Personally I
do not see a reason why Red Hat should not apply this patch. I get that you
as upstream are moving from libhal to libudev (might be the reason for this
suggestion) but RHEL 6 will keep libhal until it goes EOL in 2020/2023...

My point is: if for whatever reason RedHat do not want to patch pcsc-lite then patching libifd-cyberjack.bundle could also solve your problem.

Robert, I'm about to check in your patch and I want to know if you want me to keep your name and fedora email address in the patch (that would be my default position), but I'll happily change it to something generic (like 'customer').

Bob, I am absolutely fine if you keep it.

fixed in pcsc-lite-1.5.2-13.el6

Asha, to test this you'll have to install pcsc-cyberjack from epel.

Followed the instructions under "4.3.2 Linux.rpm" in http://downloads.reiner-sct.de/basecomponents_en/RSCT_manual_cyberJack_RFID_universal_EN.pdf. Can any smartcard be used with the cyberJack RFID Komfort reader (for example, Gemalto 64K cards) ?

Is there a specific reason that you don't use pcsc-cyberjack RPM from EPEL?

http://www.reiner-sct.com/ccsdata/documentDownload.dat?documentId=6514504 is
mentioning technical details about the card reader you are referring to. But
I was not able to locate any data sheet for Gemalto with technical details;
if your smartcard follows the standards that the reader supports, it should
work I guess.

Hi Robert,

The document provided in comment 19 is in German, is there one in English?

Roshni, I'm confused about your comment 18 and 20.

First, this bug is about testing the software included with RHEL. I don't understand why you attempt to download software from the Reiner web page. (That probably won't work, because the software Reiner provides is for SuSE and Ubunutu/Debian, not RHEL.)

Second, I don't understand why you say the document is german. I see the opposite. I downloaded the PDF file from comment 18, it's all english.

Even if you really want to download original software from Reiner (although you should rather use the software for RHEL that Bob provided in this bug), the installation instructions in the PDF file say to open http://www.reiner-sct.com/treiber which currently redirects to http://www.reiner-sct.com/support/download/treiber-und-software/cyberjack/ and which is indeed a page in german, but it's pretty self explanatory. Select the correct reader icon, then click Linux, and you get to a download page with a table of packages per Linux distribution. Since no RHEL is offered on that page, it probably won't help you?

Kai,

I have downloaded the rpm from EPEL but after installing the rpm, I inserted a card which is not being detected by the reader. Robert Scheck pointed me to http://www.reiner-sct.com/ccsdata/documentDownload.dat?documentId=6514504 which has the specifications of the cards supported by the reader (comment 19). This document is in German.

Roshni, thank you for clarifying and I'm sorry about misunderstanding your comments!

The first page of the german PDF file from http://www.reiner-sct.com/ccsdata/documentDownload.dat?documentId=6514504 primarily talks about compatibility with the new personal ID card issued in germany to citizens, physical features of the reader, the german certifications it has received (nPA = Neuer Personalausweis). Also, it talks about cards issued by banks in germany for secure online banking.

I cannot find a list of supported cards.
The specifications say the physical contact interface is according to 
  ISO/IEC 14443 A/B 
and the wireless interface is according to
  ISO/IEC 7816

The vendor's product page can be found at:
http://www.reiner-sct.com/produkte/chipkartenleser/cyberJack_RFID_komfort.html?pEl=5

I cannot find any information in english provided by the vendor. The device seems to target the german market specifically.

I found another (german) PDF, which contains a table labeled "usable cards and applications" (left hand side).
http://www.reiner-sct.com/pdf/datenblaetter/cyberJack_RFID_Gruppe_web.pdf

- nPA (new german personal ID)
- other RFID cards according to ISO/IEC 14443
- banking cards (unclear if limited to cards common in germany)
- signature cards according to ISO/IEC 7816
- card used by the german health system for citizens

Other way round: ISO/IEC 7816 is physical contact and ISO/IEC 14443 A/B is
wireless (RFID). At least I read it like that.

The smartcard that I am personally using is either a DDV smartcard (DES DES 
method) or a RDH smartcard (RSA DES hybrid method) for HBCI/FinTS. Putting
in my debit or credit card seems also to work in general even I do not have
any application. Some report that GSM SIM cards can be handled as well.

If I am not completely mistaken a green LED on the card reader device means
that the card is recognized, and if it is blinking there recently was some 
communication. Unfortunately I am not sure if I have any not supported card
around here to cross-check.

Robert, I am not sure what you are trying to do.
Maybe you can have a look at "Level 1 smart card support on GNU/Linux" http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/2014/03/level-1-smart-card-support-on-gnulinux.html

For a SIM card you can use http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.fr/search/label/sim

(In reply to Ludovic Rousseau from comment #27)
> Robert, I am not sure what you are trying to do.

Roshni is (from what I get) looking for a list of supported smartcards with
cyberJack RFID Komfort as his Gemalto 64K card doesn't seem to be supported
(comment #18). Thus Kai and I tried to provide helpful information.

Tested PIV cards with the cyberJack RFID komfort reader with pcsc-lite-1.5.2-14.el6 on RHEL 6.5. The reader still does not detect the card (green light does not blink), ESC on the machine shows "Unformatted card" inserted and the certs on the card are not listed on ESC. 

Do not know if I am missing any other dependency packages, RHEL 6.6 builds are not yet available for us.

Roshni, The Oberthur ID cards seem to work, somewhat. It seems pretty easy to get the reader in a state where it's not recognizing any cards. I don't have any contactless cards to test. The Contactless cards blink blue, and the contact card blink green (appearantly).

The PIV sample cards we have are both contact and contactless. The contact cards work (sometimes). It looks like when the reader is working, it recognizes the contactless cards, but I suspect they use different APDU's then the PIV contact interface, so coolkey doesn't recognize them. (I did get the reader to blink 'blue' than then old 'blue' on my PIV cards.

Bob,

I have 1 Oberthur card and 16 PIV cards. All of them were blinking blue and on ESC it is showing "Unformatted card" and the certs are not listed. when I did modutil -list -dbdir /etc/pki/nssdb, it shows the reader information under the coolkey module but no information about the token.

Shouldn't we be able to view the certs on the card to clearly say that the card has been detected? Are the above log messages sufficient to verify this bug?

Roshi,

So the issue is the reader is both a contactless reader and a contact reader, and the cards we have the 'work' with the reader are both contactless and contact, but we only support the contact part. 

It seems the reader does not like to use both at the same time, and it doesn't separate the contact card from the contactless interface well. In order to see something work, you need to get the contact part working (green light). If it flashes blue, ESC will see the card, but treat it as unformatted because coolkey doesn't support contact-less PIV. I find it's hit or miss whether or not I can get the reader to use the contact verses the contactless interface. When it uses the contact interface, everything works fine, but if it start flashing blue, it won't every switch to the contact interface.

In any event, you messages are fine. We can write a bug to support contactless in the future (that would make our testing of the reader easier).

From my personal point of view it would be sufficient - I am the reporter,
I wrote the patch and it is working for me :) Obviously I can not make any
decision for Red Hat QA but: If you try the same steps without my patch, I
bet that you have really less success.

Given that I am the reporter, I am willing to test this specific RPM also
here locally (which is hopefully the same like 1.5.2-13.el6_4 + my patch).

Upgraded to RHEL 6.6, the following cards got the green light on the reader blinking and were detected by ESC. This too was successful only after several attempts of removing and re-inserting the card. ESC also hung multiple times during the test.

PIV test cards 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14,15
Oberthur smart card

PIV test cards 9 and 16 got the the green light on the reader blinking but ESC was not detecting the cards.

Verifying this bug and opened a new bug for the inconsistent behavior (not clearly identifying contact and contactless cards) of the reader https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1115626
