    Certificates are not propagated - Certificate Propagation Service


    I have a problem using a Smart Card. For some reason it doesn't propagate certificates automatically, the only way it propagates is by locking the windows screen, and unlocking again.
    I understand that propagation is done automatically only when connecting my card to the reader.
    The minidriver that is automatically downloaded and installed from Windows Update is "Athena Smartcard Solutions - SmartCard - 7.5.1.4".
    Any ideas?

    :)

    Certificate Propagation Service crashes after inserting smartcard

    I have a smartcard (Austrian Citizen Card) which holds 2 certificates, one RSA and one ECC certificate. On inserting the smartcard, if the Certificate Propagation Service (CertPropSvc) is running, it will occasionally import the RSA certificate into the
    Personal store, and then crash. Often it crashes immediately, and not import any certificate. The ECC certificate has never been imported successfully so far.

    Here you can find the WER report and the two certificates on the smartcard: https://beinder.at/pub/CertPropSvc_crash.zip

    edit: Upon further testing, it does not seem to be a issue with these particular certificates, as it is possible to load them onto a yubikey (without private key of course, so any private key operation would fail) and from the yubikey both are immediately
    imported without any problems.

    I'm using a Reiner SCT cyberJack cardreader, with current drivers:
    https://www.reiner-sct.com/support/support-anfrage/?productGroup=77304735&product=77304820&q=driver&os=Windows#choice5


    But ultimately, even an incorrectly implemented driver should not cause a crash downstream in svchost.

    edit2: turned out to be a a issue in the a.sign minidriver with windows 10 which is now fixed in the latest version

    Computer not reading CAC card

    The system services might not be configured properly. To ensure that the system services are correctly configured, kindly follow these steps:


    • Click Start, type services.msc in the
      Search programs and files
      box, and then press ENTER.

    • Locate the Certificate Propagation service, and then verify that the
      Status of this service is Started and that the
      Startup Type
      is Automatic.

    • If the settings are different, double-click Certificate Propagation, click
      Automatic in the Startup type list, click
      Start
      to start the service without restarting the computer, and then click
      OK.

    • Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Smart Card service.

    • Lastly, reinsert the smart card in the smart card reader.

    Check if that resolves the issue.

    If the issue persists, kindly get back to us.
