Belgian e-id on Ubuntu

Filed under: internet, linux — @ 14:15

I got the error

Wrong root certificate

when I wanted to read the information from my e-id.

This was because both open openct and pcscd were running. Stopping openct and restarting pcscd solved this. Depending on your hardware you can only use one of these two daemons, if they are both running then you won’t have any luck reading the card.

/etc/init.d/openct stop
/etc/init.d/pcscd restart

This worked for my type of reader

Bus 001 Device 006: ID 072f:9000 Advanced Card Systems, Ltd ACR38 AC1038-based Smart Card Reader
