A quick installation guide to openct
====================================
To install openct, please do as user,
$ wget http://www.opensc.org/files/openct-0.6.2.tar.gz
$ tar xfvz openct-0.6.2.tar.gz
$ cd openct-0.6.2.tar.gz
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
This will install openct in /usr, but put the config file
into /etc. The configure out put is quite long, with many
tests for software, versions and so on. At the end a summary
is printed, it should look like this:
OpenCT has been configured with the following options
User binaries: ${exec_prefix}/bin
Configuration files: /etc
Host: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Compiler: gcc
Compiler flags: -Wall -g -O2
Preprocessor flags: -I${top_builddir}/src/include -I${top_srcdir}/src/include
Linker flags:
Libraries: -lpthread
PC/SC support: yes
Libusb used: yes
To use usb tokens and readers, libusb support is highly recommended.
PC/SC support is only useful, if you want to use openct drivers with
applications other than opensc, using the pcsc-lite middleware.
This author does only use openct with opensc and thus would not need
PC/SC support.
$ make
$ su root
and as root
# make install
will install all the files. In addition openct will need a directory
of it's own, where it can save internal files and sockets. To create
this directory, please do:
# mkdir /var/run/openct
At system boot, openct needs to create a status file and
start a process for every permanent connected reader.
For this you need to install the init script into /etc/init.d/
and create startup and shutdown symlinks.
# cp etc/init-script /etc/init.d/openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc0.d/K50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc1.d/S50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc2.d/S50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc3.d/S50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc4.d/S50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc5.d/S50openct
# ln -s ../init.d/openct /etc/rc6.d/K20openct
Openct also supports hotplugging. This however requires your linux
kernel to support hot plugging too (CONFIG_HOTPLUG) and to have
the linux hotplug utils installed. Both should be normal on any
recent linux distributions. You need to install a "usermap" file,
so the hotplug systems knows of all the readers openct supports.
And you need to install a script, the hotplug system will execute
this script, whenever a reader listed in the usermap is added
or removed.
# cp etc/hotplug.openct /etc/hotplug/usb/openct
# cp etc/openct.usermap /etc/hotplug/usb/openct.usermap
Finaly, openct needs a config file to work correctly.
# cp etc/openct.conf /etc/openct.conf
if you have serial readers (or anything else, not hotplugged),
edit /etc/openct.conf and configure your reader. Here is an
example for a Towitoko reader connected to the first serial
port:
reader towitoko {
driver = towitoko;
device = serial:/dev/ttyS0;
};
Now attach all those serial readers and start openct. Hotplug readers
already attached will be found as well, but you can as well attach them
later.
# /etc/init.d/openct start
now you can test it as user:
$ openct-tool list
0 Towitoko Chipdrive Micro
1 Schlumberger E-Gate
As you can see I have a normal, serial reader (Towitoko Chipdrive Micro)
and one usb token. If I remove the usb token, it will no longer be listed.
If I add a new token, the new one will show up:
$ openct-tool list
0 Towitoko Chipdrive Micro
1 Aladdin eToken PRO
I tested this on systems with several usb ports, too. But this "screen shot"
is from a system with only one usb port, my old laptop.
If you have a card in the reader, you can get the answer to reset ("ATR"),
which is a byte string containing some parameters, but can be used very
well to identify a card. Default is reader 0, add "-r 1" to use reader 1.
$ openct-tool -r 1 atr
Detected Aladdin eToken PRO
Card present, status changed
ATR: 3b e2 00 ff c1 10 31 fe 55 c8 02 9c
and similar commands. openct is ready.
