(PowerBuilder) Gather Smartcard Debug Information for Chilkat

See more ScMinidriver Examples

This example demonstrates how to gather information to send to support@chilkatsoft.com about your smartcard.

Note: This functionality was introduced in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Note: The ScMinidriver functionality is for Windows-only because ScMinidriver DLLs only exist on Windows. In the next version, Chilkat will be releasing a Pkcs11 class to support Linux, MacOSX, and possibly other operating systems.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
// about your smartcard. 

// The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 

// 
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// 2. Select the cmapfile (if present) as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the CSP container map
// --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

// Chilkat provides functions to get information about the smartcard, and what it contains.
// Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Scmd
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")

end if

// Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
// via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
ls_ReaderName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
li_Success = loo_Scmd.AcquireContext(ls_ReaderName)

// 3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
