Hi there, i am using a hardware crypto dongle from Yubico - unfortunately i am not able to get it up and running - here´s the link to the vendor files: https://www.yubico.com/support/knowledg ... downloads/ - thank you for you interest and patience with a newbe
I don't know much about Yubico's devices, but for about every dongle you should first install ccid and opensc (maybe lib64usb1 too) and then start and enable pcscd: sudo systemctl start pcscd; sudo systemctl enable pcscd. I guess there are some GUI for working with these devices, but you can also use pkcs11-tool --module <pkcs11_lib_for_dongle> (in some cases you can even use default lib which is /usr/lib64/opensc-pkcs11.so)
