havent looked it up in a while but isnt there a servlet based way to read smartcards? regardless, using applets to deal with smartcards seems oxymoronic ;)

- superuser2 11y agoBecause smart cards are hardware devices on the client, and nothing in HTML, CSS, or JavaScript gives you access to the client's USB ports.

- djKianoosh 11y agoi guess i wasnt clear. i meant java servlets, not js. something like: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24351472/getattributejavax-servlet-request-x509certificate-not-set-spring-cxf-jetty http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24351472/getattributejava...
- superuser2 11y agoFor some reason actual smartcard applications seem to use proprietary applets rather than the open standards around client certs.
- anta40 11y agoThe tool is used to manage some our smart card applets. And since it web-based, we don't need to give the copy of the tool to other people. I don't write the tool, but maybe I can convince my supervisor to rewrite it into desktop app :)
