Windows: nk3 piv application not found #564

Closed stnu-iuk closed 1 month ago

stnu-iuk commented 2 months ago

os: Win 11 23H2 firmware: v1.7.2-test.20240813 (latest test version, which - to my understanding - includes the "personal identity validation" functionality) nitropy-version: 0.4.50; also tested with: 0.4.46 used nitrokeys: Nitrokey 3C NFC and Nitrokey 3A NFC

steps to reproduce:

connect nitrokey to usb port start nitropy in cmd or powershell with admin rights used command: nitropy.exe nk3 piv alternative used command: nitropy.exe nk3 piv init

expected behavior piv app is launched, options appear, piv functionality is activated

observed behavior:

C:\Program Files\Nitrokey\Nitropy>nitropy.exe nk3 piv init Command line tool to interact with Nitrokey devices 0.4.46 Usage: nitropy.exe nk3 [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]... Try 'nitropy.exe nk3 --help' for help.

Error: No such command 'piv'.

thus i cannot use the piv functionality, even if not yet stable, which would probably very useful to us.

As PIV support is still experimental, it is not available in the released pynitrokey versions yet. It is added in this pull request: https://github.com/Nitrokey/pynitrokey/pull/506

To test it, you need to install pynitrokey from the Git branch of that pull request, for example:

pipx install git+https://github.com/Nitrokey/pynitrokey.git@piv-rebase

The piv command is available as an experimental feature since v0.6.0 so it is no longer necessary to install pynitrokey from Git.
