Set Up Smart Card Redirection on a SLED/SLES Virtual Machine

To configure smart card redirection on a SLED/SLES virtual machine (VM), install the libraries on which the feature depends and the root CA certificate to support the trusted authentication of smart cards. In addition, you must edit some configuration files to complete the authentication setup.

Some examples in the procedure use placeholder values to represent entities in your network configuration, such as the DNS name of your AD domain. Replace the placeholder values with information specific to your configuration, as described in the following table.


Placeholder Value	Description
dns_IP_ADDRESS	IP address of your DNS name server
mydomain.com	DNS name of your AD domain
MYDOMAIN.COM	DNS name of your AD domain, in all capital letters
MYDOMAIN	DNS name of the workgroup or NT domain that includes your Samba server, in all capital letters
ads-hostname	Host name of your AD server
ads-hostname.mydomain.com	Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of your AD server
mytimeserver.mycompany.com	DNS name of your NTP time server
AdminUser	User name of the VM administrator

Prerequisites

Complete the steps described in Integrate a SLED/SLES Virtual Machine with Active Directory for Smart Card Redirection.

Procedure

Install the required library packages.

Install the PAM library and other packages.

# zypper install pam_pkcs11 mozilla-nss mozilla-nss-tools 
    pcsc-lite pcsc-ccid opensc coolkey pcsc-tools

For SLED/SLES 12.x SP3, install the PC/SC tools by running the following series of commands.

# SUSEConnect --list-extensions
# SUSEConnect -p PackageHub/12.3/x86_64
# zypper in pcsc-tools

Install a Root Certification Authority (CA) certificate.

Download a root CA certificate and save it to /tmp/certificate.cer on the system. See How to Export Root Certification Authority Certificate.

Locate the root CA certificate that you downloaded, transfer it to a .pem file, and create a hash file.

# openssl x509 -inform der -in /tmp/certificate.cer -out /tmp/certificate.pem
# cp /tmp/certificate.pem /etc/pam_pkcs11/cacerts
# chmod a+r /etc/pam_pkcs11/cacerts/certificate.pem
# cd /etc/pam_pkcs11/cacerts
# pkcs11_make_hash_link

Install trust anchors to the NSS database.

# mkdir /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb
# certutil -N -d /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb
# certutil -L -d /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb
# certutil -A -n rootca -i certificate.pem -t "CT,CT,CT" -d /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb

Install the required drivers.

# cp libcmP11.so /usr/lib64/
# modutil -add "piv card 2.0" -libfile /usr/lib64/libcmP11.so -dbdir /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb/

Edit the /etc/pam_pkcs11/pam_pkcs11.conf file.

Delete the line use_pkcs11_module = nss. In its place, add the line use_pkcs11_module = mysc.

Add the mysc module, as shown in the following example.

pkcs11_module mysc {
  module = /usr/lib64/libcmP11.so;
  description = "MY Smartcard";
  slot_num = 0;
  nss_dir = /etc/pam_pkcs11/nssdb;
  cert_policy = ca, ocsp_on, signature, crl_auto;
}

Update the Common Name mapper configuration, as shown in the following example.

# Assume common name (CN) to be the login
mapper cn {
      debug = false;
      module = internal;
      # module = /usr/lib64/pam_pkcs11/cn_mapper.so;
      ignorecase = true;
      mapfile = file:///etc/pam_pkcs11/cn_map;}

Delete the line use_mappers = ms. In its place, add the line use_mappers = cn, null.

Edit the /etc/pam_pkcs11/cn_map configuration file so that it includes the following line.
```
ads-hostname -> ads-hostname
```
Modify the PAM configuration.
1. To make it possible to configure smart card authentication, first disable the pam_config tool.
```
# find /etc/pam.d/ -type l -iname "common-*" -delete
# for X in /etc/pam.d/common-*-pc; do cp -ivp $X ${X:0:-3}; done
```
2. Create a file named common-auth-smartcard under the /etc/pam.d/ directory. Add the following content to the file.
```
auth    required        pam_env.so
auth    sufficient      pam_pkcs11.so
auth    optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
auth    [success=1 default=ignore]      pam_unix.so nullok_secure try_first_pass
auth    required        pam_winbind.so  use_first_pass
```
3. Replace the line auth include common-auth with the line auth include common-auth-smartcard in both of these files: /etc/pam.d/gdm and /etc/pam.d/xscreensaver.

To configure the pcscd service to start automatically after the VM restarts, edit the /etc/init.d/after.local file. Add the line rcpcscd start so that the file resembles the following example.

#! /bin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 2010 SuSE LINUX Products GmbH, Germany. All rights reserved.
#
# Author: Werner Fink, 2010
#
# /etc/init.d/after.local
#
# script with local commands to be executed from init after all scripts
# of a runlevel have been executed.
#
# Here you should add things, that should happen directly after
# runlevel has been reached.
#
rcpcscd start

Note: If the pcscd service does not start after the VM restarts, the first login via pam_pkcs11 fails.

Disable the firewall.
```
# rcSuSEfirewall2 stop
# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_setup off
# chkconfig SuSEfirewall2_init off
```
Note: Smart card redirection sometimes fails when the firewall is enabled.

Update the PC/SC Lite library to version 1.8.8.

For SLED/SLES 12.x SP3, use the following sequence of commands.

# SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.3/x86_64
# zypper in git autoconf automake libtool flex libudev-devel gcc
# git clone https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/PCSC.git
# cd PCSC/
# git checkout -b pcsc-1.8.8 1.8.8
# ./bootstrap
# ./configure -program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr 
  --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include  
  --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib64 
  --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-static --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers
# make
# make install

For SLES 12.x SP5, use the following sequence of commands.

# SUSEConnect -p sle-sdk/12.5/x86_64                                      
# zypper in git-core autoconf automake libtool flex libudev-devel gcc     
# git clone https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/PCSC.git
# cd PCSC/
# git checkout -b pcsc-1.8.8 1.8.8
# ./bootstrap
# ./configure -program-prefix= --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib64 --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/var/lib64 --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --disable-static --enable-usbdropdir=/usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers
# make
# make install

Install the Horizon Agent package, with smart card redirection enabled.
```
# sudo ./install_viewagent.sh -m yes
```
Restart the VM and log back in.
