RE: serial number ~Umberto Nongeroson 28.Oct.03 09:59 PM a Web browser Notes Client 6.0.2 CF1Windows 2000
Yes, Notes checks the serial number. When the ID file is smartcard-enabled, the token's serial number will be stored in the ID file and subsequently used as a means of determining if the correct token is in the reader. The same serial number will have to be returned consistently, or else Notes will think that a different token is in the reader and will prompt you to enter the correct token.
We've tested against tokens that return a variety of types of serial numbers, ranging from all blanks to 16 digits to a number of characters and then padded out with blanks, and haven't had any problems on that front.
According to the PKCS#11 spec (pp35-36, v2.01), serialNumber is 16 bytes long, and must be padded with the blank character (' ').
