Re: Problems accessing ActivIdentity USB SIM under Gentoo Linux 64 bit on Intel

[Lyall Pearce <lyall.pearce@xxxxxxxxx>]

What do I need to do to assist/diagnose this problem?
    
    I know C but don't know the protocols.
    
    I also noticed that I think the ActivIdentity USB SIM may have
    timing issues because if I connect the device to a Windows XP VM in
    VirtualBox runnning on my Gentoo Linux 32 bit system, which has the
    ActivIdentity software installed. From the VM, I remote desktop to a
    VirtualBox Windows XP VM on a remote computer. The Remote Windows XP
    VM also has the ActivIdentity software installed and try
    authenticate to the remote machine using the key, sometimes it
    works, other times it takes ages, and the USB SIM sits there being
    accessed constantly, as though it's retrying frequently, whereas,
    when used locally (on the remote VM), it's a couple of accesses and
    it's done.
    
    USB SIM is at home, remote Windows XP VM is at work.
    
    Host Gentoo 32 bit Linux -> VirtualBox Windows XP VM -> 
    Remote Desktop -> network (VPN)  -> Host Gentoo 64 bit linux
    -> VirtualBox Windows XP VM -> ActivIdentity authentication
    
    Bottom line, I am not entirely convinced that the Software provided
    by ActivIdentity works reliably given the USB data is transported
    across a network, introducing timing delays.

 OK, I'm guessing it's the single cert issue. Do you know how many certs
are on your card?

In any case pcscd and pk11_inspect logs are going to be useless, the
problem is directly in libcoolkey.
