Bug#636045: chromium: No smartcard/security device support

[Cyril Brulebois]

Package: chromium
Version: 12.0.742.112~r90304-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

it looks like chromium has no smart card support, meaning one can't use
a certificate stored on a smart card to log in on remote sites using
such certificate-based authentication.

To see what's missing, see Firefox:
  Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Security Devices

There, one can add e.g. /usr/lib/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so, which will use
pcscd to talk to the security device, and get certificates available on
it.

Mraw,
KiBi
