    Disable PIN caching for Virtual Smart Cards


    We want to store digital certificates for PDF signing in virtual smart cards. Due to regulatory reasons (FDA, we are developing medical devices), I have to assure that the PIN protecting the certificate has to be (re-)entered for each document to be signed. The default behavior seems to be that the PIN has only to be entered for the first document and is then cached. Is there any possibility to configure the PIN policy of a virtual smart card to "always prompt". As far as I know, this can be done for conventional smart cards and the windows certificate store.


    Thanks for any information!

    :)

    virtual smart card not found

    I have a "virtual digitalbadge" on my PC, which, I think, is an implementation of virtual smart card technology. I use it to set up a VPN to my partner company.

    When I try to set up the VPN, I often get the message "select a smart cart device". Screenshot:

    The Japanese text means "insert smart card". I can't proceed, since I don't know how to "insert" a virtual smart card.

    I believe this happens consistently after hibernation; a reboot fixes the problem but is a very poor workaround, since it takes about 15 minutes until my PC becomes usable. Of course I could avoid hibernation, but I hibernate for a reason (i.e. I want to
    have the same programs running when I switch my PC on as when I switch it off).

    The same happens whenever Internet Explorer wants to check the certificate on the smart card.

    Is there a tool, a command, a registry entry, anything that helps me "inserting" the smart card without rebooting? Is there a log file or anything else to find out where the process is broken so that I can fix it?
