Hi,

Thanks very much for all the answers, some of them were realy helpful.
And now some additional details:

We are system integrator/software devel company in central european
region.
What I want to do is to build up PKI infrastructure for our company
first, and then (possibly) rollout it for one of our customer. Our
company as well as that possible customer is working in heterogenous
environment: Windows, Solarises and Linuxes in all places, eighter as
servers or as workstations. For our company we want cost-effective
solution for <50 users, but a solution that will work even for >100
users on our customer's network.

Two reasons:
1) I do not know how PC/SC will work with SUN workstations/servers. I
need some solution for these as well.
(PC/SC will be used for PCs, that's sure)

2) SUN Blade workstations and SunRay appliances have built-in smartcard
reader. I do not know anything specific about this reader, what kind of
a beast it is. For SunBlade it could be PC/SC, but not for SunRay.
SunRay is a thin client, with no smartcard support on client itself.
Everything must be done on server, so no PC/SC here.

I'm affraid that these are a bit expensive for central european region
:-)
Companies here are not willing to invest large amount of money to new
projects as generaly nobody here has a large amount of money to spare
....

But for a small company it could be a good solution. I'll check out the
details, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I've been talking to a Spyrus representative for our region, but he was
not aware of the fact that Spyrus has support for Solaris and Linux.
But Spyrus looks good to me, so if such a solution exists, I'll be glad
to test it (at least).
