I've recently worked on a better version of pkcs11-helper. I've also merged
it into QCA (Qt Cryptographic Architecture), so that KDE 4 will finally be able to use smartcards. The changes allows the following features: 1. Thread safe, is activated if USE_PTHREAD. 2. Slot event - Will allow us in the future to disconnect VPN when smartcard is removed. In order to support this OpenVPN must support threading... At least SIGUSR1 from a different thread. Threading should be supported in both Windows and Linux. -- currently disabled. When I talk about threading support it is just support in configuration script and that the method that SIGUSR1 self can be called from a different thread. I already handle the monitor threads. 3. Certificate enumeration - Will allow us to finally have one configuration file for all users! When you add the plugin GUI stuff you talked about, we will be able to display a list of available certificates for the user to select. -- currently disabled. 4. Data object manipulation - Will allow us to store tls-auth on the smartcard as well. -- currently disabled. 5. Many other minor improvements.
