Integrate/read smart card info from AutoIT application?

[ohaya]

Hi,

(Thanks to help from folks here) I have written a small AutoIT application that has a GUI and takes username and password that is entered, and then authenticates that username and password (against an LDAP via running a small Java app to do the authentication against the LDAP).

However, now, they want this application to be extended to have it be able to cause a smart card to be read and to let the let the user select from one of the certificates that are stored on the smart card and then do some authentication processing using the information from the selected certificate.

Can this be done with AutoIT?  If not, can I get my AutoIT application to invoke/run some application to allow the cert selection, etc. and then returning some information from the selected smartcard to AutoIT?

I did find this really old thread:

but I haven't been able to make that work (and don't understand how it is supposed to work)?

Has anyone done something like this?  If so, can you provide some pointers/hints about how to proceed?

Thanks,

Jim

How are you going to read the content of the Smart Card?

Meanwhile, this could be helpful

I will take a look.

Re. your question:  Basically, I have an AutoIT GUI app that presents a form that asks for username and password now, and they want to add the option to select a certificate from a smartcard, e.g., similar to the code I posted, have a "Login using smartcard" button and I guess it would popup and list the certs on the smartcard and let the user selectw which of the certs they want to use (in place of the username/password).

Thanks,

Jim
