Appendix A: Specifications
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 II. 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).
