Smart Card Reader

The smart card reader enables a user to securely log into the Solaris operating
environment through the use of a smart card. Information on the smart card verifies
the identity of the user during login. When a user logs in by using a smart card the
following series of events occurs:
The user inserts the smart card into the smart card reader.
The user attempts to run a protected application, typically this application is the
the Solaris 8 operating environment, but other applications can be protected by
smart cards as well.
The application tries to authenticate the user by reading the authentication
information configured on the user's smart card. This information is the user's
personal identification number (PIN) and the user's account password.
The application prompts the user to type the PIN, and then compares the typed
PIN with the PIN stored on the smart card.
If the typed PIN and the PIN on the smart card match, the application then
searches the password database specified to the host's /ect/nsswitch.conf
file for the same password that is on the smart card
If the application finds the smart card's password in the host's password
database, it considers the user authenticated and logs in the user.
Note – The smart card reader is attached to motherboard through an I2C bus,
through 10 pin connector J3604.
