If the Thales Smart Card minidrivers is not present in your OS catalogue for drivers, it can be downloaded on above mentioned website and manually distributed.
You can also download Thales SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) software, but this is NOT required to be able to use the smart cards in the Nexus solution.
- To be able to encode MD830/930 and/or MD940 Smart Cards, the DLL 'IDPrimePKCS1164.dll', which is installed with SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC), needs to be present in C:\Windows\system32.
- During installation of SAC, select Custom Installation during setup and select the following feature:
- Core > IDPrime PKCS#11 (Core (IDPrime PKCS#11))
- When that is installed, you can find the DLL file in the installation directory, and you can move it to the System32 directory mentioned above.
- In theory you can then uninstall SAC and just distribute the DLL file as required. The DLL file is not available separately outside the installation client.
