Description
Belgian electronic identity card (eID) middleware
Long description
Allows user authentication and digital signatures with Belgian ID cards.
Also requires a running pcscd service and compatible card reader.
eid-viewer is also installed.
This package only installs the libraries. To use eIDs in Firefox or
Chromium, the eID Belgium add-on must be installed.
This package only installs the libraries. To use eIDs in NSS-compatible
browsers like Chrom{e,ium} or Firefox, each user must first execute:
~$ eid-nssdb add
(Running the script once as root with the --system option enables eID
support for all users, but will *not* work when using Chrom{e,ium}!)
Before uninstalling this package, it is a very good idea to run
~$ eid-nssdb [--system] remove
and remove all ~/.pki and/or /etc/pki directories no longer needed.
The above procedure doesn't seem to work in Firefox. You can override the
firefox wrapper to add this derivation to the PKCS#11 modules, like so:
firefox.override { pkcs11Modules = [ pkgs.eid-mw ]; }
