Hello List!
I searched the list and wiki for information about an Aladdin eToken PRO
Anywhere but could not find much. I got the device few weeks ago and
since then try to make it work as drop in replacement for the older
eToken models we are using at the moment (openct, opensc, pkcs15-tool)
and which cannot be purchased any longer. It seems to be kind of hybrid
device. At first it appears in lsusb's output as:
Bus 002 Device 009: ID 0529:3003 Aladdin Knowledge Systems
Which is recognized as SCSI CD-ROM. Few seconds later this device
disappears and another one is listed:
Bus 002 Device 011: ID 0529:0600 Aladdin Knowledge Systems eToken Pro
64k (4.2)
This one has the same usb id as the eTokens we are using at the moment
(with openct/opensc). Since I could not get it work, I used Aladdin's
software tools to get some information about the token.

From what I've read on the list about java based cards I would say odds
are not so good.So, does anybody have any hints how to use the new eToken with
openct/opensc or is there any other approach to make them work?
Thanks in advance
