SmartCard Minidriver - first steps?

[Hannes]

Hi,

We are developing a minidriver for a smartcard on Windows 7.
Although our Cryptography/Calais registry entries seem correct, we do not
see any evidence of our driver actually being loading and executed.

Is there any way to debug or follow the mechanism in Windows that selects
and loads our DLL? Does it log messages anywhere?

/ Hannes.


Registry info is as follows:
######################################
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais\SmartCards\OurCard]
"ATR"=hex:<atr values go here>
"ATRMask"=hex:<atr values go here>
"Crypto Provider"="Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider"
"Smart Card Key Storage Provider"="Microsoft Smart Card Key Storage Provider"
"80000001"="ourminidriver.dll"
######################################



certutil -scinfo output is as follows:
