<> = News and Current Events = CurrentEvents Added notes on XCA to [[http://www.etokenonlinux.org/et/Applications_for_eToken#XCA|Applications for eToken]]. LSE published a completely GPLv2 based [[LinOTP|LinOTP Community Edition]]. A new Build 59/SP1 was release of PKI Client 5.0 with support for Ubuntu 9.04 32-bit. Aladdin Middleware (PKI Client) 5.0 was released on Feb, 27th 09. Read [[FAQ/PKI Client 5.0]], [[FAQ/PKI Client 5.0 Supported Distributions]] and [[FAQ/PKI Client 5.0 Hardware]]. Added a howto for [[HowTos/eToken_Smartcard|Aladdin Smartcard]]. Added a howto for Aladdin eToken and [[HowTos/eToken and PKI|PKI]]. Added a howto for Aladdin eToken and [[HowTos/eToken authentication against Active Directory|Active Directory]]. Aladdin Middleware (PKI client) 4.55 for Linux is out. Read [[FAQ/RTE_4.x]] [[ContactLSE|LSE]] developed a linux based backend [[LinOTP]] to use the eTokenNG OTP. '''Read how to protect your [[HowTos/eToken_and_LUKS|encrypted root filesystem]] with an eToken.''' Download the patch to make Aladdin eToken Middleware 3.65 work with current udev implementations -> [[HowTos/eToken_and_uDev]] '''RDesktop supports smartcards. Take a look at [[HowTos/eToken_and_rdesktop]].''' The eTokenNG FLASH is out. As a matter of fact it works fine with linux. = Introduction = The eToken is a readerless smartCard, that can be plugged into the usb port. It can be run in two different ways under Linux: * You can use the open source project [[http://www.opensc-project.org|OpenSC]] and format the token in [[PKCS]]15. Although there is pkcs15-Support for Windows, this will break the default compatibility to Windows. * The other possibility is, to use the token the '''generic''' way, as it comes when you buy it from your distributor. For this you will need the Aladdin [[pkcs11-library]], that comes with the Aladdin Linux Middleware or also called PKI client. Additionally you will need the pcsc lite daemon, which you can install the default way with your distribution. This way the eToken will be readable both, under Linux _and_ Windows. Nevertheless if using the Aladdin middleware you can still use many usefull tools from the opensc project like pkcs11-tool, pam_pkcs11 or opensc-engine. = Information Sources = Where to get the basic information? * Where to buy an eToken http://www.lsexperts.de * Getting eTokens and the middleware for testing http://www.aladdin.de/produkte/usbtoken_esecurity/etoken_teststellung.html * Learn more about opensc http://www.opensc-project.org/download.php * Just getting the Linux middleware [[mailto:cornelius.koelbel_at_lsexperts.de|mailto:cornelius.koelbel_at_lsexperts.de]] * Learn more about pam_pkcs11, which is needed to Login via eToken http://www.opensc-project.org/pam_pkcs11/ * openca can be used, to rollout your certificates to the eToken http://www.openca.org = HOWTOs and FAQ = Here you will find HowTos for several problems. Feel free to contact us and provide your own HOWTO! Also take a look at the [[FAQ]]. = Applications = that run with the eToken: [[Applications_for_eToken]]. But there are sill many applications [[ToDo/Missing_Applications|missing]]. = Interoperability between Linux and Windows = The current Aladdin Middleware 4.55 ensures complete interoperability with the certificates and keys on the eToken between Windows and Linux. = ToDo = This section describes missing applications and what needs to be done. -> [[ToDo/Missing_Applications]]
