Smartcard quickstarter guide
Manual startup
OpenSC startup is controlled by securityd daemon:
$ securityd -h
securityd: illegal option -- h
Usage: securityd [-dwX]
[-a authConfigFile] Authorization configuration file
[-c tokencache] smartcard token cache directory
[-e equivDatabase] path to code equivalence database
[-N serviceName] MACH service name
[-s off|on|conservative|aggressive] smartcard operation level
[-t maxthreads] [-T threadTimeout] server thread control
To start in manual mode, securityd daemon needs to be started with smarcard operation level "off":
Edit the following file :
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.securityd.plist
And add the two last lines:
/usr/sbin/securityd
-i
-s
off
To manually start pcscd daemon, type:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --debug
Warning: typing "sudo pcscd --foreground --debug" under 32 bit architecture will not work. Make sure to type "sudo
/usr/sbin/pcscd --foreground --debug".
