Parameters

serialNumber

A String object that contains the serial number of the new smart card.

middleware

A String object that contains the middleware for the new smart card.

atr

A String object that contains the smart card answer-to-reset (ATR) string for the new smart card.

request

A Request object that describes the FIM CM request with which to bind the smart card. The status of the FIM CM request must be Approved or Executing.

Return Value

A Smartcard object for the new smart card.

Remarks

For the middleware parameter, the following middlewares are currently defined and supported by FIM CM:

FIM CM, by using the smart card client, interacts with smart cards by using one of the supported middlewares. Therefore, if you want to use the support for FIM CM request execution that is built into FIM CM, you must to use one of the supported middleware types in the previous list. However, if you implement your own support for smart card interaction and FIM CM request execution, you can specify any middleware.

When using PKCS#11-based middleware, the string to pass in the middleware parameter is extracted from the manufacturerID member of the CK_SLOT_INFO structure defined in PKCS#11.

The following permissions are checked when this method is called:

  • The current user must have Execute permissions on the FIM CM request.

The status of the FIM CM request will be set to Executing.
