For those who do smart cards, we can use PCSCLite library. With Omnikey 5321 as reader, here's how we do it.

Installing necessary driver for Omnikey and install OCFPCSC driver for it.

Driver Part

Install PCSC and tools

Terminal window
$ sudo apt install libpcsclite-dev pcscd pcsc-tools

Install Omnikey Driver

Go to HID Global and download: OMNIKEY 512X, 532X, 1021, 3X21, 6121 PCSC FOR LINUX X86_64

Actually, use Google and search for ifdokrfid_lnx_x64-2.10.0.1 version. That is the most stable one in my years of experience. Last time I tested it, the new ones was not that relible. May be have change.

Terminal window
$ tar xvfz ifdokrfid_lnx_x64-2.10.0.1.tar.gz && cd ifdokrfid_lnx_x64-2.10.0.1
$ sudo ./install -d /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers

And PCSCd should detect the reader. If not, go restart PCSCd

Terminal window
$ sudo systemctl restart pcscd

Or, to debug PCSCd

Terminal window
$ sudo systemctl stop pcscd
$ sudo pcscd -afd

Press CTRL+C to terminate it.

To check card:

Terminal window
$ pcsc_scan
PC/SC device scanner

Download OCF library from OpenSCDP site.

Terminal window
$ wget http://www.openscdp.org/ocf/ocf-1.3.1916.zip
$ unzip ocf-1.3.1916.zip
$ cd ocf/jni/ocfpcsc
$ make JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64
$ sudo cp libOCFPCSC1.so /usr/lib/libOCFPCSC1.so
