Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 12:52 pm Post subject: Cyberjack card reader [solved]

Hi everybody,

I have a USB card reader "Reiner SCT cyberjack pinpad" that I use in combination with a proprietary software called "moneyplex". Been using this combination since 2005 under Linux and never had trouble. Now I have installed a new Linux, a Funtoo (which is a Gentoo with different repositories, but basically it is Gentoo).
However, first I did what is being written on this site: Install pcsc-lite, install the cyberjack driver, add the service pcscd to the default runlevel, first start it in debug mode

Code:

pcscd -a -d -f

and see if my chipcard is being detected:

Code:

# pcscd -a -d -f

Obviously, the card is being detected (important is the line with Card ATR: blabla). When I remove the card I get the output

Looking good so far, isn't it?
Then I downloaded the moneyplex software and asked for a key for testing purposes; you get it via email. monexplex is installed in your user's home directory, from here you can start it. It starts, asks for the key, it updates itself, it tests your internet, and then it wants to test the card reader. The pcscd daemon is running (not in debug mode, only started during booting). When I insert my chipcard, the green LED turns on (good sign for me) and then you have a button "Test" and when I hit it, moneyplex tells me that there is no card inserted. I tried this many times cleaning the contacs on the card, but moneyplex does not recognize it, whereas the system sees it. So I did some research and installed the pcsc-tools. They give you a nice little tool called pcsc_scan which gives the following output when being started and you insert and remove a chipcard:

I think this chipcard is being recognized perfectly, and I also think that I did the installation of the drivers right (newest version from ReinerSCT website being pulled by the ebuild).
Has anyone a idea why moneyplex does not see the card? I am not asking for support for moneyplex, for this I started an email conversation with their support (and they seem to be helpless), what I would like to know is: Did I do something not right in installing the drivers and the related software? Did I forget something? Do I have to edit configuration files? My user is member of the group pcscd (I found a hint to this in the cyberjack udev rule).
At last here the list of software that I have installed for the card reader.

I am not sure if I need the pcsc-perl package, I don't think so. For the ccid package I found a hint on the moneyplex website. Whether or not I need libchipcard I am also unsure.
For my understanding the problem is located on the moneyplex end. What do you think? Any help is appreciated.

Moldmaker, What user does moneyplex run as. What user can see the card? I suspect a permissions problem somewhere. _________________ Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

Normal user, no root permissions. I also started it being root, no difference.

then I can watch the card being inserted and removed. Also, when I insert the card in the reader, the device's green LED flashes (there's a green one and a yellow one). Maybe that's not good enough for moneyplex.

I've been thinking in that direction too. There is a udev rule called 99-cyberjack.rules and it contains the following:

My card reader is listed in the second line, product ID 300. Here is also mentioned the group "pcscd" to which I added my user, hoping it might help.

Moldmaker,

Code:

MODE="660", GROUP="pcscd"

Is your normal user in the pcscd group?
The MODE="660" means only the owner and pcscd group members can read and write to the card.
I suspect that the owner will be root.

You will need to log out and back in again to pick up new group memberships.

What does groups tell you?

It says (as normal user)

I already rebooted since adding me to the group. (Oh and Thomas, that's me.)

Does the /dev/bus/... entry exist as described by the udev rule?

This is what happens when I unplug and plug again the card reader:

Code:

[ 1171.994290] usb 5-2: USB disconnect, device number 2
[ 1179.622181] usb 5-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using uhci_hcd
[ 1179.807262] usb 5-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0c4b, idProduct=0300, bcdDevice= 1.00
[ 1179.807265] usb 5-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 1179.807267] usb 5-2: Product: cyberJack pinpad(a)
[ 1179.807269] usb 5-2: Manufacturer: Reiner-SCT
[ 1179.807270] usb 5-2: SerialNumber: 2542540122

I did another test and inserted some other chipcards into the reader, watching what happens. It perfectly idetifies my health insurance card

Code:

German public health insurance card (Elektronische Gesundheitskarte eGK), 2nd generation (G2) (HealthCare)

and also my debit card

Code:

Debit card (Germany): ec-cash, GeldKarte(EUR), Maestro, Cirrus, ...

and of course the card that I use together with my old moneyplex

Code:

Giesecke & Devrient Starcos 2.3
Deutsche Bank WebSign (RSA-Card)
G&D StarSign Token
Osakidetza ONA (eID)

Neither of these cards will be detected by the recent moneyplex. It always says there is no card inserted.
Maybe the problem is really simple. moneyplex is designed for Linuxes like opensuse, Ubuntu, Fedora. What if it searches for libraries that are here on my computer simply not in the paths moneyplex expects them to be? How can I find out?

Moldmaker, If it were a missing library, the program would not start. You would get an unable to load ... error. Is there anything in dmesg? If you run moneyplex from a console window, are there any errors in the console? All the card detection and set up is done by root so the setup and use are different things. The setup is required for the card to be used but not sufficient. Find the dev entry is /dev/usb/... somewhere. Check that its correct. The permissions should be 660. Change the permissions to 666, so world has read/write access. Does that help? _________________ Regards, NeddySeagoon Computer users fall into two groups:- those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

No. it keeps silent.

There are actually two binaries. The one that is normally used for starting moneyplex is called prestart. If I launch it from a terminal, I get the following:

Code:

thomas@funtoo ~/moneyplex $ ./prestart
Starting ... /home/thomas/moneyplex/moneyplex
... ExecuteProcess result code = -1 Version 2018-12-02

(TGtk2MemoStrings) UpdateMemoSelLengthCB

Then it launches the main binary and exits. When I quit moneyplex, the following appears:

Code:

GTKKillFocusCBAfter: abc: MediumBlzEdit:TEdit
TAnchorSide.CheckSidePosition Circle, MandantLB:TLabel akTop
TAnchorSide.CheckSidePosition Circle, MandantLB:TLabel akTop

GTKKillFocusCBAfter: abc: MandantEdit:TEdit

When I start the main binary directly, without prestart, then I can see:

Code:

thomas@funtoo ~/moneyplex $ ./moneyplex
TGtk2MemoStrings.QueueSelectLength 20
TGtk2MemoStrings.QueueSelectLength 87

The application seems to start exactly as with the prestart binary. Then it asks for two things, what type of "Medium" I want to use (the chipcard) and what name the "Mandant" shall have. You can see it it the output:

Code:

Then I hit the "Test" button, the failure message appears ("no card inserted" while it is inserted), but there is no output in the terminal nor in dmesg. When I close the moneyplex window, the terminal says

Code:

(moneyplex:8932): GLib-CRITICAL **: 11:39:00.127: g_source_remove: assertion 'tag > 0' failed

Not very enlightening to me, everything seems to be related to Gtk.

The card detection I described before can be done in a terminal by my normal user. The service pcscd must run, but I don't have to be root for that.

Quote:

Find the dev entry is /dev/usb/... somewhere. Check that its correct.
The permissions should be 660.
Change the permissions to 666, so world has read/write access. Does that help?

The correct one is /dev/bus/usb/005/002.

Code:

funtoo /dev/bus/usb/005 # ls -la
insgesamt 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 24. Mai 11:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 200 24. Mai 11:12 ..
crw-rw---- 1 root usb 189, 512 24. Mai 11:12 001
crw-rw---- 1 root usb 189, 513 24. Mai 11:58 002
funtoo /dev/bus/usb/005 # chmod 666 002
funtoo /dev/bus/usb/005 # ls -la
insgesamt 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 80 24. Mai 11:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 200 24. Mai 11:12 ..
crw-rw---- 1 root usb 189, 512 24. Mai 11:12 001
crw-rw-rw- 1 root usb 189, 513 24. Mai 11:59 002
funtoo /dev/bus/usb/005 #

After that I restarted the pcscd service and fired up moneyplex, but there is no difference. Card is not detected.

Moldmaker,

The udev rule appeals to fail.

Code:

The group should be pcscd, not usb but thats not the issue because

Code:

$ groups
lp wheel audio video usb portage pcscd scanner plugdev thomas power

you are in the usb group and it still fails with 666 permissions.

If this udev rule is failing what others are failing too?
Is udev actually running?

Its very noticeable when udev fails to start as lots of things in /dev have the wrong permissions so its all over the kernel messages during boot.

Yes. it is running. And I doublechecked that

Code:

/dev/bus/usb/005/002

is the correct one. When I unplug the reader and plug in in again it appears as 003.

Code:

I agree that according to the cyberjack udev rule one can expect pcscd as group and not usb.

Quote:

But I have no error messages during startup. Starting up smoothly.However, when poking around in

Code:

/lib/udev/rules.d

I found this udev rule I didn't notice before:

Code:

99-pcscd-hotplug.rules

It contains only this text:

Code:

# Copyright 1999-2019 Gentoo Authors
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2

# We add this here so that it runs after ccid's and ifd-gempc's rules;
# if we just added a pcscd-owned device, we hotplug the pcscd service.
ACTION=="add", ENV{PCSCD}=="1", GROUP="pcscd", TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}+="pcscd.service", RUN+="pcscd.sh"

I don't entirely understand what it does, but there is this

Code:

TAG+="systemd"

that irritates me because i do not use systemd, I use OpenRC. Plus, there is this hint to "ccid". I also found on the moneyplex website instructions to install something like "pcsc-ccid" for opensuse and "libccid" for ubuntu. In the Funtoo/Gentoo repos all I find is this here so I installed it.

Code:

* app-crypt/ccid
Latest version available: 1.4.32
Latest version installed: 1.4.32
Size of files: 642 KiB
Homepage: https://ccid.apdu.fr https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/CCID
Description: CCID free software driver
License: GPL-2

To be honest I have no clue how to solve this. In my conversation with the moneyplex support I asked if it was possible to discuss this whole thing with the developer(s). Also I am trying to lay my hands on another cardreader I might be able to get in a few days, a more modern one. There was also the advice to update the reader's firmware (only possible under Windows) which I also tried, but it failed with an error. Luckily I did not brick the device, it's still working fine under the old Linux system. Another suspicion I have is that the chipcard itself might be incompatible to the new moneyplex because it is from 12/2004. Got to ask that their support, but then I would expect some message like "card is too old" or something like that and not "no card inserted".
This whole thing is harder than I thought.

Today I had the chance to test another, more modern card reader from ReinerSCT, called RFID standard. I plugged it in, fired up moneyplex, inserted the chip card - and BAM, test was successful. It seems that if you didn't update the firmware of your old reader back in time (using MS Windows) you just fail to put it into operation today (under Linux). Anyway, thank you for your support and patience. I really appreciate it. _________________ Mm.
