i can’t ‘do’ the lingo on the page, but i think this might help:

http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/11/21/dni-electronico-en-opensuse/

indirecta amistosa: that page found using this search string:

site:opensuse.org login linux smart card DNIe

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aopensuse.org+login+linux+smart+card+DNIe

hope it works for you, let us know!!

Thanks:

That configuration is for DNIe and Firefox. I’ve done it following instrucions of DNIe manual and it works fine.

What I try is to use the smart card for starting session (kdm, gnome) or even others (ssh, telnet,ftp,…).

I’ve tried with pam_pkcs11 but not worked as hoped.

Thanks

Tying the DNIe to log in authentication would not be a simple thing but it should be doable. One problem is that I believe that the authentication is tied to a web connection. An interesting article here Understanding the DNIe, Part I : Device Authentication « Limited Entropy Dot Com but not a lot of help in what you want to do.

I suppose that I’ll have to wait for.

I’ve tried configuring pam_pkcs11.conf but even I say to use
use_pkcs11_module = opensc it always uses nssdb (with ubuntu I didn’t have this problem, I had others).

I’ve also tried to download pam_pkcs11 source and compile it, but I found errors which don’t know how to solve…

I didn’t thought this was so difficult…

Thanks for your reply.

You may try to contact the guy that wrote the article I referenced, he seems knowledgable.
