Smart Card Functionality / CA Certificates
Posted: 21 Oct 2021, 09:55
Hello,
I have waited as long as possible to make this post and tried scouring the forms and internet for possible solutions. I now am turning to the forum for help. I am trying to set up a Kiosk solution for our University and some websites that our students will need to visit require the use of Smart cards to log in. I first started off by getting the functionality working on my Ubuntu machine. I am able to use my smart card and reader and have uploaded all necessary CA certificates and I am able to access these sites.
My thought process was to take all the packages that were installed for my ubuntu, unpack the 003-settings.xzm file and place them in the relevant directories and then re-make the ISO. I did this and then upon making the ISO bootable off of USB, none of my initial configurations loaded (IE. network settings, homepage settings, bookmarks etc.) I then set about trying to find a completed module and just adding it to the xzm folder and remaking the ISO. I went with the xzm file from this post Module for Smart Card Athena .
I moved it to the xzm folder and created the new ISO and made it bootable for USB and then re-imaged. When I then tried to load this image, the system would not boot. I could see an error at the top stating something was not found in a certain directory. (Cant remember at the moment but if you need the error I can remake the ISO and try to start it back up) I am still not sure I moved over the certificates properly, the only thing I could find and try to do was to move my cert9.db file from my .mozilla/firefox folder and placed it into that unpacked 003-setting.xzm folder in the same directory.
Any help is appreciated and I know I am probably not understanding how to properly build my own xzm module but I have looked at many different guides and I am having no luck. I hope to hear from somebody, I just want Smart card functionality and to move over certain certificates
