SCL011 card reader not recognized

[Konfekt]

As proposed at the Opensuse bug report, this issue could be related to the ccid driver itself and therefore is posted here :

The SCL011 card reader (certified by the German government for the ID card according to https://www.personalausweis-kartenlesegeraete.de/basis-kartenleser/) is not recognized after installing the driver package

pcsc-ccid

together with the packages libchipcard pcsc-lite.

Instead, what worked was:

First installing these packages libchipcard pcsc-lite and the package

pcsc-lite-devel

Then downloading and uncompressing the Linux driver version 2.09 from

https://support.identiv.com/scl010-scl011/

to a folder $f and editing the file $f/proprietary/SCLGENERIC.bundle/Contents/Info.plist according to the instructions from https://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/problem-mit-treiber-kartenleser-scl/.
That is, adding to the lists

  <key>ifdVendorId</key>
  <key>ifdProductId</key>
  <key>ifdFriendlyName</key>

the entries as shown by the command lsusb

  <string>04e6</string>
  <string>5292</string>
  <string>SCM Microsystems, Inc. SCL011 RFID reader</string>

Then running sudo $f/install.sh and sudo systemctl enable --now pcscd.
(Maybe installing pcsc-lite-devel and running pcscd were dispensable.)

Thus, for this card reader to be recognized after installing the pcsc-ccid package, the above entries should be added to its file Info.plist.

I think you are talking about this reader https://ccid.apdu.fr/ccid/disabled.html#0x04E60x5292
This device is NOT supported by my CCID driver. You have to use the identiv proprietary driver instead.

Alas even the Identiv driver does not work out of the box. Any idea where this work-around could be documented or the corrected version uploaded? Perhaps https://ccid.apdu.fr/ccid/disabled.html#0x04E60x5292 could point it out?

[LudovicRousseau]

If I understand correctly the proprietary Identiv driver works after some changes. No?

I do not plan to document how to use proprietary drivers. Report the problem to Identiv and/or use a different reader model/manufacturer.
