Hi,


I hope this is the correct place to post this as it seems the 
opensc-users list is no longer active?


Basically, I am wondering if the Feitian A22 JavaCOS is supported??


I have an Alcor Micro AU9560 card reader inside my laptop which runs 
Arch Linux. Reading through various pages on Linux and SmartCards - 
Debian/Arch/OpenSC wiki's the reader is definitely supported; as for the 
card, I could only find this reference: 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52131519/opensc-fails-to-connect-javacard-with-pkcs-applet


I haven't purchased the card yet as I'm still trying to research as much 
as possible. My idea is to use the card for login purposes primarily. I 
may look at other things later on but for now that is what I want to 
achieve. Looking at my local vendor it seems that for Auth only 
Crescendo and Gemalto or ACOS5 cards are available which according to 
the OpenSC wiki are not supported though there is a project working on 
the ACOS5 currently.


Am I looking at the correct card for what I am trying to do?


I did also checkout the Feitian PKI card but it seems no longer 
available from anywhere including the Feitian online store.


Thanks for any advice or recommendations.


Regards,


Kaya
