Summary
Basic command line usage of a PKCS#11 token
Requirements
- Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04 bionic amd64
- Packages: opensc >= 0.18 opensc-pkcs11
Description
The documentation uses the Feitian ePass 2003 FIPS 140-2 Level 2 tokens which can be used with the open source project OpenSC.
The default configuration of the tokens, according to the manufacturer, is as follows:
- Default User PIN: 12345678
- Default SO PIN: entersafe
Install opensc-0.18
To install opensc-0.18 on Ubuntu 18.04 download the three source package files from https://packages.ubuntu.com/cosmic/opensc and store them in a build folder. Then run
$ dpkg-source -x opensc_0.18.0-3ubuntu2.dsc

First steps
We are going to get some basic informations using the command line tool pkcs11-tool
List the number of available tokens:
$ pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so -L Available slots: Slot 0 (0x0): Feitian ePass2003 00 00 C_GetTokenInfo() failed: rv = CKR_TOKEN_NOT_PRESENT Slot 1 (0x4): Alcor Micro AU9560 01 00 (empty)
Initialise the token for usage with opensc:
$ pkcs15-init --erase-card --reader "Feitian ePass2003 00 00"
$ pkcs15-init --create-pkcs15 --profile pkcs15+onepin --label "myToken" --pin 123456 --puk 12345678 --reader "Feitian ePass2003 00 00"
$ pkcs15-tool --dump --reader "Feitian ePass2003 00 00"
