Hi all
Is there anybody who has ever used Microsoft Base Smart Card CSP?
It is a CSP that works with a small DLL in order to work with Smart Cards.
I have written one of these DLL and it works well when I use web enrollment of my Smart Card, but when I try to use autoenrollment, it fails.
is there any idea what happens that causes failing autoenrollment operation?

Regards

I had huge, huge problems with the Microsoft PKI implementation when used previously. I can't offer a solution but I can offer sympathy . The MS crypto/pki newsgroups available through MSDN usually have a lot of knowledgeable people who should be able to help you.

Thanks Silver...
I should say we(I mean me and team friends) had written a CSP based on PKCS#11 and support various operations,like sending email,SSL,...
But for Smart cards, We get the the MOST FOOLISH ERROR IN WINDOWS "Error:0x8000ffff - Catastrophic failure" that we cannot find reason for it.
So I wana complete my own Smart Card Module that I were previously developed,And its only problem in autoenrollment.
I will go check there if somebody has ever tried this or not.

Edit: I should say that CSP development till we get a working one for emails and SSL kicked our ***. That's why we wana use Smart Card Modules, That are a piece of cake compared to CSPs.
