Linux: cannot use Gemalto/Aladdin PKCS#11 USB module from CertEurope #334

As the issue says, when trying to use Web-EID, I can only see the following error message, with nothing but WEBEID_USER_CANCELLED in the logs:

The smartcard module lists itself as follows:

Bus 003 Device 025: ID 0529:0620 Aladdin Knowledge Systems Token JC

Disconnecting and reconnecting the module does cause the app to react but the same error appears in the end, indicating that there is no other hardware module it may be recognising instead.

The card works and is recognised by pcsc_scan as well as by Gemalto's own SafeNet tools on the same system by the way.

The PKCS#11 library for Gemalto SafeNet is libeTPkcs11.so

Thank you for the feedback! We currently support tokens only in Windows. We are open to reconsider adding token support to other operating systems in the future. I will leave this issue open if you or someone else from community wants to add the support.
