Target Server Requirements

When using smart card readers, the basic requirements for interoperability at the target server are:

• The IFD (smart card reader) Handler must be a standard USB CCID device driver (comparable to the generic Microsoft^® USB CCID driver).
• A digital CIM or D2CIM-DVUSB (Dual-VM CIM) is required and must be using firmware version 3A6E or later.
• Blade chassis server connections, where a CIM per blade is used, are supported.
• Blade chassis server connections, where a CIM per chassis is used, is only supported for IBM^® BladeCenter^® models H and E with auto-discovery enabled.

Windows XP Targets

Windows XP^® operating system targets must be running Windows XP SP3 in order to use smart cards with the KX III. If you are working with .NET 3.5 in a Windows XP environment on the target server, you must be using SP1.

Linux Targets

If you are using a Linux^® target, the following requirements must be met to use smart card readers with the Raritan device.

• CCID Requirements

  If the Raritan D2CIM-DVUSB VM/CCID is not recognized as a smart card reader by your Linux target, you may need to update the CCID driver version to 1.3.8 or above and update the driver configuration file (Info.plist).

  Operating system	CCID requirements
  RHEL 5	ccid-1.3.8-1.el5
  SuSE 11	pcsc-ccid-1.3.8-3.12
  Fedora® Core 10	ccid-1.3.8-1.fc10.i386
