To list all system-wide registered PKCS#11 modules the following command can be used: $ p11-kit list-modules More information about supported applications and uses of the URI can be found in separate blog post. They are used by most of the tools in RHEL 8+ and simplify configuration of applications for smart cards. The PKCS#11 URI scheme is used to consistently identify smart cards, tokens and objects on them in the system. That is, CAC, PIV, and cards with the CoolKey applet or PKCS#15 cards.

One sample for Red hat engineering to enable the hardware and one sample for Red Hat Quality Engineering.

In RHEL8 and newer smart cards are accessed via the OpenSC PKCS#11 module. The list of supported hardware in the upstream project.
#SAICOO CARD READER PROBLEMS UPDATE#
Red Hat will periodically update the USB identifiers from the upstream project into our pcsc-lite-ccid driver. Most CCID compatible readers will work without any issue. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux, we follow the pcsc-lite upstream project in regards to smart card reader hardware support.

For example the OpenSC module as shipped by RHEL8.0, provides support for Yubikey, Nitrokey, and the US-government PIV and CAC cards and many more, on a single module.
#SAICOO CARD READER PROBLEMS DRIVERS#
In the open source world, we have projects like OpenSC, which wraps several smart card drivers into a single shared module. That shared module can be imported by applications, and be used to communicate with the card directly.
#SAICOO CARD READER PROBLEMS DRIVER#
Smart card vendors, often provide a shared module (.so file), which follows the PKCS #11 API, and serves as a driver for the card. The main method in RHEL for applications to access smart cards, is via a higher level API, the OASIS PKCS #11 API, which abstracts the card communication to specific commands that operate on cryptographic objects (private keys etc). The PC/SC low level communication is rarely seen on the application level. The daemon forwards the commands received to the card reader typically over USB, which is handled by low-level CCID driver. On the lower level, the operating system communicates with the smart card reader, using the PC/SC protocol, and this communication is performed by the pcsc-lite daemon. Smart cards are typically handled on multiple layers and by multiple components, and for that we would like to provide a brief background to provide context for the following discussion. If you search for smart card support for RHEL 7, please use the article 3034441.

In addition it provides information on how to investigate a potential incompatibility between the cards and RHEL. In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and newer, we strive to support several popular smart cards types, however, as it is not possible to support every smart card available, this document specifies our targeted cards.
