Belgium Middleware eID

chessboxing · 2010-06-06 17:31:58

Hello

To register taxes in Belgium, their is the opportunity to do this via internet with the eID. I have an omnikey 5123 and firefox add-ons installed already. But I need to install some middleware to get it working.

This page explains how to do it in Ubuntu and Fedora pdf guide in dutch. But of course not Archlinux. And when I try the ./install.sh[->pastebin] says the version of linux is not supported.

This script installs the Belgian eID middleware and GUI.
Linux distribution not supported.

Ubuntu .tgz: http://eid.belgium.be/nl/binaries/beid- … -94065.tgz
Fedora .tgz: http://eid.belgium.be/nl/binaries/beid- … -93272.tgz

Look at install.sh, from line 26 on:

    if [ -e "/etc/debian_version" ] || [ -e "/etc/SuSE-release" ] || [ -e "/etc/fedora-release" ]
    then
        cat licenses/eID-toolkit_licensingtermsconditions.txt | more
        cat licenses/THIRDPARTY-LICENSES.txt | more
    else
        echo "Linux distribution not supported."
        exit -1
    fi

Try to remove that and see how it goes along.

The old official code is outdated and has ugly build scripts.
I know the guy who is currently refactoring the official eid-mw code to make it build properly using autotools etc.
And guess what, I converted that guy to Arch Linux.
I believe most of the big code tree restrutures/refactorings is done since last friday, and he will put a pkgbuild in aur.

Brilliant!
Off topic, from where are you specific?:)

near Ghent. you?

chessboxing · 2010-06-07 12:48:12

Oostende. Although I resided a while in Ghent for studies at ugent.

Dendermonde myself.

I know the beid-package maintainer in debian (I see Dieter@be has already commented on his blog about this) and he told me that v4 of the middleware for linux is far from complete. He is having trouble building a debian package in time for the squeeze freeze, but waiting for v4 is out of the question, because that won't make it in time...

Maybe keep an eye on the debian package and then use that as a base for the Arch PKGBUILD?

For those interested, I have added an AUR package:

http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38653

Recent SVN does not build though; it breaks on non-existent .cpp files.

It's not perfect yet but it does work well (I tested it and can correctly authenticate to the ministry of finances to do my taxes).

There is this too, I'm going to test that as well. One downside: it seems to require mono...

Thanks, I will check this out, but I'll need to get a card reader first

Setup is pretty generic but I wrote a walkthrough, making it a walk in the park, really:

chessboxing · 2010-11-14 15:47:41

ok I tried it. It installs daemon (pcskd) seams to work...
But "firefox /usr/share/beid/beid-pkcs11-register.html" fails, -> "file doesn't exist"
pacman -Ql beid-svn | grep register -> nothing, so obviously it doesn't exist. And btw, the gui isn't there either.
Any help, before I say goodbye to this planet?

.:B:. · 2010-11-14 15:57:18

The GUI is no more:

chessboxing · 2010-11-14 16:21:13

ok, how about that firefox register.html file that doesn't exist?

Because I still get:

Beveiligde verbinding mislukt
Fout tijdens het verbinden met authentication.vlaanderen.be.
SSL-peer kon niet onderhandelen over een acceptabele set beveiligingsparameters.
(Foutcode: ssl_error_handshake_failure_alert)

pacman -Ql beid-svn

will show you the contents of the package nicely.

Gsus, I solved it and works with Omnikey, cardman 5321.
BUT common how on earth should someone know how to fix this...

So what you wanna do it, disable the installed firefox addon and install the one from the addon website from firefox which is an older version (1.0.7).

It's that time of the year again... but this howto is no longer available.

Anyone has an up-to-date guide for Tax-on-web on Arch Linux?

ghen · 2011-07-04 12:19:55

Ok, it wasn't that hard.

1) install pcsclite + driver for your cardreader (ccid in my case)
2) build and install beid-svn from AUR (includes firefox plugin)
3) start pcscd (and add it to rc.conf, if not running firefox will have a startup delay caused by the plugin)

This is enough for Tax on web.

However I wonder whether there's any replacement for the beid GUI, or is it still available? OpenSC (in AUR) can be used to interact with the smartcard, but it's very low-level. I'll try to hook it into mutt for mail signing though. :-)
