Hello,
we've integerated our own smartcard into notes.
First i do a "Move Private Key to SmartCard"
We can authenticate and sign messages without problems.
However, when i want to delete the key through "Delete Certificate from ID" - the private key is still on the smartcard - i know it is stated like that in the Admin HELP - BUT !
When I import the certificate (with private key) again, the option "Move Private Key to SmartCard" is disabled - that means i cannot put the private key again on the smardcard - because notes seems to cache your settings within the ID file.
The same thing applies when i manually delete the private key from the smart card - it doesnt work either, cant move private key to smartcard again - once i did it, and delete it again - i cannot do it again - i have to use an older copy of my ID file which never had that key.
Second Problem, Encrypted Messages do not use the private key on the smartcard for decrytion - i do not know how this is possibile - i can manually delete the private key from the smartcard and notes is still able to decrypt, after deletion however - signing is not possibile (the way it should).
So it seems that for signing, notes uses the private key on the smartcard, but for decrytion it uses a copy of a private key in the ID file ? OR is it possibile that notes does not use internet certificates for encryption and uses the notes public keys instead of the x509 certs ?
