Bug#1061444: pcscd: GDM user is NOT authorized for action: access_pcsc
Package: pcscd
Version: 2.0.1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-gtk-gnome@lists.debian.org
Hello,
When looking at the logs of pcscd, I see the following messages:
jan 22 09:47:37 edoras pcscd[1663]: 00000000 auth.c:125:IsClientAuthorized() Error in authorization: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: Process not found
jan 22 09:47:37 edoras pcscd[1663]: 00000031 auth.c:143:IsClientAuthorized() Process 1565 (user: 115) is NOT authorized for action: access_pcsc
It seems that GDM is not allowed to talk to pcscd.
GDM has the functionality to detect whether there is a smartcard in the
reader and then use the gdm-smartcard PAM service instead of the
gdm-password one to perform login.
I guess that GDM should be whitelisted to allow it to use pcscd?
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville
