Hi all, (sorry for my pool English.)

We have created a RSA-FULL CSP based SmartCard. It works fine with
IE/OE, etc.

Now we are using wireless network connection with EAP (Use SmartCard or
other certificates) on WindowsXP(with SP1 installed), I selected the "Use a
certificate on this computer", when the network connected, my CSP be
called as following:
    ...
    ...
    CPAcquireContext(....) [called with the container name, ok]
    CPGetProvParam(..., PP_IMPTYPE) [return CRYPT_IMPL_HARDWARE |
CRYPT_IMPL_REMOVEABLE, ok]
    CPCreateHash(...) [ok]
    CPSetHashParam(...) [ok]
    CPSignHash(...) [can not work because not logon to the smartcard, so
can not use the private key to sign data.]
    ...

I don't know why the system does not show the "Input the PIN" dialog box
just like I select "Use my smart card". How can I make the system show such
dialog box to obtain the PIN from user input?

BTW, I searched all these archives and can not find any idea about this
issue, some one discuss the smart card CSP should return
CRYPT_IMPL_MIXED | CRYPT_IMPL_REMOVEABLE, but for my instance, we
does not call other base CSP, we implemented all functions/algorithms.
Some of the algorithms implemented as software like hashdata, some by
hardware like RSA-compute.

I had try more than 5 days but can not find the right way.

Is any body can resolve my problem?
