No token driver found using smartcard extension

We have created a smartcard extension based on CryptoTokenKit on macOS 10.13.


The smartcard logon does not always work well on macOS 10.13 GM Seed and macosx 10.12.6. I already filed a bugreport on this (https://bugreport.apple.com/web/?problemID=34276518)

On macos 10.13 beta 9, it works.


After successfully pairing and the screen saver is active, we can use the pin to login. But once the user has logged out and try to logon again using the smartcard, the system can not find the token driver. The log is given below;

Could it be that it has something to do with the way the smartcard extension has been registered?

We put the smartcard extension under the folder PlugIns/ inside our main app which serves as a host.


Thanks,

We seem to have the same problem.


The initial login doesn't seem to work but screensaver unlock do work.


All other authorizations also work, Terminal "sudo", Safari SSL authentication, system authorization, Mail signing and decryption.


I bet they will escalate this one with the paid TSI submission.

Did you get feedback on this issue?
