See more ScMinidriver Examples

This example demonstrates how to gather information to send to support@chilkatsoft.com about your smartcard. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

#  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

#  First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
#  about your smartcard. 

#  The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

#  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.
#  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  
#  
#  
#  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  2. Select the cmapfile (if present) as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the CSP container map
#  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  
#  
#  

#  ---------------------------------------------------------
#  Chilkat provides functions to get information about the smartcard, and what it contains.
#  Send Chilkat the output of the following source code:

scmd = chilkat.CkScMinidriver()

#  Reader names (smart card readers or USB tokens) can be discovered
#  via PCSC List Readers or PCSC Find Smart Cards
readerName = "Alcor Micro USB Smart Card Reader 0"
success = scmd.AcquireContext(readerName)
if (success == False):
    print(scmd.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

json = chilkat.CkJsonObject()
json.put_EmitCompact(False)

#  ------------------------------------------------------
#  3. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCardProperties
#  ------------------------------------------------------
success = scmd.GetCardProperties(json)
if (success == False):
    print(scmd.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print(json.emit())

#  ------------------------------------------------------
#  4. Send Chilkat the JSON returned by GetCspContainerMap
#  ------------------------------------------------------
json.Clear()
success = scmd.GetCspContainerMap(json)
if (success == False):
    print(scmd.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print(json.emit())
