It comes as +driver in ifdhandler format for PC/SC-Lite, as CT-API driver, or as +a small and lean middleware, so applications can use it with minimal +overhead. OpenCT also has a primitive mechanism to export smart card +readers to remote machines via TCP/IP. + +This requires pcsc-lite (available on SlackBuilds.org). + +For serial and pcmcia readers only, for using it as a PC/SC ifdhandler, +you have to edit file reader-openct.conf in /etc/reader.conf.d/, to +comment lines in other file(s) and run "/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf". + +Compiling with "APIDOC=1 ./openct.SlackBuild" produces API .pdf +documentation (mainly intended for developers). + +Compiling with "NONPRIV=1 ./openct.SlackBuild" enable non-privileged +mode, but you need to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.openctd to allow 'chown' to +change user/group. + +To start OpenCT daemon, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.openctd start". This is +most easily accomplished by adding the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local: + if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.openctd ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.openctd start + fi + +Beware! +- OpenCT daemon is meant as _alternative_ to pcsc-lite: running rc.openctd +and rc.pcscd at the same time can and will lead to unforseeable problems +(specially with usb devices that can be managed by both of them, one daemon +can claim one device, making it unavailable for other daemon). +- for some unknown reasons, if you start rc.openctd and then stop it, +you may need unplug and plug-in your usb smartcard reader in order +to it to be seen again, so udev rule is re-applied. + |
