The vastool utility provides an option to test whether a PKCS#11 library is suitable for use with Safeguard Authentication Services for Smart Cards.

To test the PKCS #11 library

1. Run the following command:

   vastool smartcard -l <library> test library

   where <library> is the path to the PKCS#11 library you want to test.

   For example, to test the Gemalto PKCS#11 drivers on a Red Hat x86 platform, run the following command:

   vastool smartcard -l \
   /usr/local/lib/libxltCk.so test library

   This displays the following output if the driver is correctly installed:

   Testing PKCS#11 library '/usr/local/lib/libxltCk.so':
   Checking PKCS#11 library may be dynamically loaded ... ok
   Checking PKCS#11 library contains necessary symbols ... ok
