What you need
------------------------------
[1] Kernel with USB support either compiled in or as modules
[2] Mounted /usbfs (/usbdevfs)
For more detailed informations see http://www.linux-usb.org/
[3] libusb >= Version 1.0.8 available at
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/
[4] PCSCLite > Version 1.5.5 available at
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pcsclite/
[5] This driver supports our CT-API and our Synchronous API.
So, if you like to use one of them, you must download
the API in question from https://www.hidglobal.com.
------------------------------
What is new in this release ?
------------------------------
* Added support for El Capitan
------------------------------
Driver Installation
------------------------------
After you have downloaded the tarball extract it in any directory
# tar -xzvf ifdokccid
change to this directory and run as root user
# ./install
This script checks if PCSCLite is installed and then copies
the CCID driver bundle to /usr/local/pcsc/drivers directory,
which is the default PCSCLite USB driver dropdir.
You can change the dropdir by providing another install path
to the install script using the option '-d':
# ./install -d /path/to/my/dropdir
------------------------------
Troubleshooting
------------------------------
- Stop the pcscd daemon
# sudo killall -9 pcscd
If you can just detect one of the two reader slots of the 5321 it can happen that the libccid driver
catches the reader. To be sure you can start the pcsc daemon in debug mode:
# sudo pcscd -fd
If you plug now the reader and it detects just one slot you can fix the problem:
- find out the drop dir of the drivers
# sudo pcscd -v
output e.g.
pcsc-lite version 1.5.5.

Report bugs to .
Enabled features: Linux libhal usbdropdir=/usr/local/pcsc/drivers confdir=/etc ipcdir=/var/run/pcscd
The path after usbdropdir shows you the dropdir of the drivers. e.g /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
- change into drivers directory and list subdirectories. e.g.
# cd /usr/local/pcsc/drivers
# ls
output e.g.
ifd-ccid.bundle ifdokrfid_lnx_i686-2.8.1.bundle
- change into libccid Contents directory:
# cd ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents
- create a backup of the current file so that you can restore it if something goes wrong
# sudo cp Info.plist Info.plist.backup
- add the right to write to Info.plist
# sudo chmod +w Info.plist
- open Info.plist in an editor your choice e.g. vi, vim, emacs, kate
# sudo vi Info.plist
- look for the product ID's section, it should be close to line 200. please look for 0x5321
- IMPORTANT!!! COUNT which entry it is and delete it, you need the position for the further steps
- look for the vendor ID's section, it should be close to line 100. please look for the entry at same position like the product ID
the entry should be 0x076B, please delete this line
- look for the friendly names section, it should be close to line 300. please look for the entry at same position like the product ID
the entry should be "OmniKey CardMan 5321", please delete this line
- save the file and close the editor
- delete the right to write to Info.plist
# sudo chmod -w Info.plist
- restart pcscd with sudo pcscd
Now the HID OMNIKEY 5321 will be detected by the pcsc daemon
------------------------------
Note
------------------------------
1. PCSCLite with ADD_SERIAL_NUMBER support contains a bug which prevents
PCSCLite from dedecting a reader removal.
Workaround:
* undefine ADD_SERIAL_NUMBER in hotplug_libusb.c and
recompile PCSC.
2. PCSCLite with ADD_SERIAL_NUMBER support contains a bug causes PCSCLite to crash
if more than 1 reader is used.
Workaround:
* undefine ADD_SERIAL_NUMBER in hotplug_libusb.c and
recompile PCSC.

Support
-----------------------------
Q: What driver version am I using at the moment?
A: You can determine the driver version number by having a look at the PCSCLite
bundle directory (usually /usr/local/pcsc/drivers): The bundle name of our
devices drivers contain the driver version number.
The driver is also printing a version string every time a reader is activated
by PCSCLite: This string can be found either in the system log
or on the console you started PCSCLite daemon from.
Q: I am experiencing problems using smartcard XYZ !
A: Please send an email to our support address eusupport@hidglobal.com containing
a description of the chain of events which lead to the misbehavior (reader plug-in/-off,
SC insertion/removal, commands sent to the SC or at least the program used to talk to the SC),
also include the name and ATR of the smartcard, and add the PCSCLite log events (should be written to
your system log /var/log/messages or similar). Your systems kernel version and kind of distribution
may also be helpful.
