Re: SCardGetCardTypeProviderName returns wrong csp on Vista
Hi,
This is not a bug in Vista. It is simply due to the fact that, under Vista,
the GemSAFE setup is configuring Windows to use the new card module
architecture instead of the classical CSP one. That's why you are seeing the
Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider: this is the entry point for using
the smart cards mini-drivers and it will be the same for all cards for whome
there is a mini-driver.
Do you have a problem using the Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto Provider?
If you really want to use the classical CSP, you should contact Gemalto
(Gemplus in the past) to see if the version of CSP you have has been
validated for Vista and if not get a new one.
Cheers,

Hi Mounir,
thanks for your explanation, is there an other way to retrieve
theGemplus GemSAFE Card CSP string on vista? maybe using
SCARD_PROVIDER_PRIMARY ?

Re: SCardGetCardTypeProviderName returns wrong csp on Vista
Hi,
I don't think there is another way to retrieve this string under Vista
simply because there is probably no GemSAFE CSP installed under Vista at
all!! And even if it's installed, it can't be associated with your smart
card as it's already associated with Microsoft Base Smart Card Crypto
Provider and all the crypto called will go through this MS CSP instead of
the GemSAFE one (if any).
For a smart card provider, it doesn't make sens to ship on Vista both the
card module and the classical CSP. The only possiblity I think of is if they
want to support a legacy application that is hard-coding the name of their
CSP in it.
In your case, you should probably contact them to see if they have a setup
under Vista that doesn't make use of the new MS architecture.
Cheers,
