1.48.1. RHBA-2009:1310: bug fix update
An updated esc package that fixes various bugs is now available.
The esc package contains the "Smart Card Manager" GUI tool, which allows the user to manage security smart cards. The primary function of the tool is to enroll smart cards, so that they can be used for common cryptographic operations, such as secure email and website access.
This updated package fixes the following bugs:
- If a smart card were inserted when the esc daemon was already running then there could be odd behaviors when the ESC GUI was opened. For example, if the smart card was blank, then the Phone Home configuration dialog would not open. When the smart card was removed, then esc could crash. (BZ#496410)
- If a user attempted to re-enroll a formatted token when the RE_ENROLL value was set to NO, then the ESC wrongly gave an error that the token was suspended, not that re-enrollment wasn't allowed. This message has been corrected. (BZ#494981)
This update also includes enhancements for smart card management:
- Certificate System previously supported re-enrollment for tokens, which allows a formatted token to be re-formatted with new certificates. This enhancement also allows smart cards to have renewal operations, so existing certificates can have renewed.
- This release includes enhancements to streamline the security officer mode for ESC. Security officer mode allows designated users to perform in-person token enrollments, as added security. This simplifies launching the ESC GUI in security officer mode.
Users of esc are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves these issues.
