Hi Guys,
i found a way around the problem myself. Should have read the available ressources and forum posts better. For future reference and for anyone with the same problem.
-
Add the neccessary lines from https://www.nitrokey.com/documentation/installation#p:nitrokey-pro&os:linux to the file /lib64/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist
<key>ifdVendorID</key>" <array> <string>0x20A0</string> <key>ifdProductID</key> <array> <string>0x4230</string> <key>ifdFriendlyName</key> <array> <string>Nitrokey HSM</string>
-
Install the File 40-nitrokey.rules unter /etc/udev/rules.d
-
Restart udev or simply reboot.
Afterwards initialization and usage of the Nitrokey HSM is possible.
Basically everything has been said already in the forum post “Nitrokey Pro installation under RHEL7/CentOS7” (thanks to user jwildeboer, can´t link to it because i can only put 2 links in my post…), only installation of the udev rules file was missing there. I guess this is done with installing the nitrokey app (which i don´t use with the Nitrokey HSM).
Suggestion: For a better user experience, some official step by step tutorials to get things running would be really nice.
