gemalto .net card

Hi Ugo

Gemalto .net card defines default SO pin as 24 bytes all of value '0' 

When I try

Session session = token.OpenSession(Session.CKF_SERIAL_SESSION | Session.CKF_RW_SESSION,
                                   null,
                                   null);     

session.Login(Session.CKU_SO, "000000000000000000000000");

returns CKR_PIN_INCORRECT exception.

Is there a sollution?

Hi,
NCryptoki wraps the functions exported by the native underlying PKCS#11 module. This means when you call the Login method with 24 '0' NCryptoki as PIN it passes 24 '0' to the function C_Login of the underlying PKCS#11 module and returns the error code returned by that native function.

That gives us two chances:

1) the SO PIN isn't 24 '0'

2) the SO is 24 0 not 24 '0'. i.e. the char '0' is 0x30 (hex) while 0 is 0x00
 

Let me know...

Regards,

Ugo

Yes pin is 24 zeros as 0x00 not '0'

SO pin is defined as special kind of password. It is not ASCII pin code it is a raw 24 byte buffer.

What now?

I just uploaded the new version 1.4.4.1 which has a new Login method that takes the PIN as byte array.
Now you can pass a byte array as the PIN in the following way:

byte[] pin = {0x00, 0x00, ... 0x00};
session.Login(Session.CKU_SO, pin);

Download this new version and try.

Regards,

Ugo

Thanks for prompt response!

This worked, now we need session.SetPIN(byte[], byte[]) to change SO password :)
