Hi there.
I'm using a signing applet working everywhere, except with one specific
library/token (libbit4hipki.so/dylib / BusinessKey).
When Firefox is using the token, applet's userKeyStore.getCertificate()
method fails to load certificates
libbit4hipki library causes an exclusive access from Firefox, which
forbids other software. It happens just opening Firefox.
Is there a way to take back control of the card, while Firefox is open?
P.S. Smart card inside the token is an ST Incard. On Windows the token
is manageable with any library, and concurrent access with Firefox is
allowed.
Just on Linux and Mac, opensc and so call universall middleware do not
work on this device. It works only their library, with such
restrictions. I can't understand why they did that... Let see if there
is a work around.
