Change PIN on PKI Smart Card in Windows 7 without Middleware
We are looking to get off of using middleware to handle authentication. For that reason we're deleriously happy that Windows 7 supports the newer PKI cards. However, the one function that middleware provides that we can't seem to find in Windows 7 is the ability to change the PIN on the PKI card. Does anyone know if there's a screen I'm missing somewhere?thx

Hi, What's the brand or model of the middleware? Since the function is provided by the middleware which is not known by Microsoft, I suggest you also contact the middleware manufacturer support for further assistance. Thank you for your understanding. Novak

If the driver give you a full CSP interface, you've to contact them. However, if they are giving to you a minidriver, you can do : find the minidriver dll through a call to SCardGetCardTypeProviderName with SCARD_PROVIDER_CARD_MODULE Then you can call directly the minidriver function to change the password (both user & administrator). Look at http://eidauthenticate.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/eidauthenticate/EIDCardLibrary/smartcardmodule.cpp?revision=27&view=markup for an example of implementation.
