In one single day I had to deal with two nasty tricks to get the following e-administration to work properly:
- My swedish e-legitimation BankID software token.
- My spanish digital certificate renewal request.
The first one failed to authenticate (silently!) because the (propietary) software, BankID, refused to work properly on 64-bit Ubuntu. Adding a wrapper solved the issue:
<br />
sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper<br />
sudo nspluginwrapper -i /usr/local/lib/personal/libplugins.so<br />
On the other hand, the spanish counterpart, complained like this:
"Su certificado no ha permitido generar una firma válida"
Pasting the error on google sufficed to find the solution as well.
Now I wonder how our mums can cope with these big user annoyances :-S
Hopefully not everything is a lost cause here… openness and common sense in security seem to start making their way on Spain regarding DNIe: PKCS11 sources have been recently released !.
