poldi-ctrl –register-card –account <your-user-account> –serialno <serialno of your card>
You can also execute this command without &#8216;&#8211;account <your-user-account>&#8217; but than the user will not be able to install or update his card&#8217;s keys.

The serialno can be found by executing &#8216;gpg &#8211;card-status&#8217; and looking for &#8220;Application ID&#8221;.</li> 

  * Now we have to establish a mapping between the user and the smartcard he owns: 
    <pre>poldi-ctrl --associate --account &lt;your-user-account&gt; --serialno &lt;serialno of your card&gt;</pre>

  * Now you have to write your public key into the appropriate key file (you have to do this within your user account) 
    <pre>poldi-ctrl --set-key</pre>

  * That&#8217;s it, now you can test it with &#8216;poldi-ctrl &#8211;test&#8217;
  * Now you have to tell pam, that you want to use poldi.

    Therefore you have to edit the files in /etc/pam.d. If, for example, you want to login to kdm with your card, edit the file /etc/pam.d/kdm. Replace the line &#8216;@include common-auth&#8217; with</p> 
    <pre>auth    required   pam_poldi.so</pre>

    If you want to login unattended, use

    <pre>auth    required   pam_poldi.so try-pin=123456 quiet</pre>

    And if you want to fallback to regular unix passwords, use

    <pre>auth    sufficient pam_poldi.so try-pin=123456 quietauth    required   pam_unix.so nullok_secure</pre></ol> 

Now you should be able to use your GnuPG smartcard to log in your GNU/Linux system.
