does not allow caching smart card logins
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Release: 1.9.20

Environment

Linux/amd64

Description

When importing keys from a signing party, I have to decrypt large numbers of messages; as I use a smartcard, I keep getting asked for the CHV2 for each one.

How To Repeat

iterate over a list of encrypted files where the key for decryption is stored on a smartcard, decrypting each.

Fix

It would be nice to have a way to allow the scdaemon to remain authenticated to the card or alternatively cache the PIN (ugh).

Release Note

1.9.21 has been released yesterday but this fix is in SVN for quite some time.
