Reading data from Belgian eID cards¶

For system managers¶

When lino.Lino.use_eid_jslib is True, then you as the system administrator are responsible for installing Johan De Schutter’s eid-javascript-lib and creating in your project’s media directory, a symlink named ext-jslib which points to the installation directory.

Yes, this is currently a bit tricky.

The installation directory must probably contain the following files:

Applet-Launcher License.rtf
BEID_Applet.jar
applet-launcher.jar
be_belgium_eid.js
beid.jnlp
beid35JavaWrapper-linux.jar
beid35JavaWrapper-mac.jar
beid35JavaWrapper-win.jar
beid35libJava.jar
beid_java_plugin.jnlp
hellerim_base64.js
license.txt
readme.txt

as explained in Johan’s readme.txt, and hellerim_base64.js is Dr. Heller’s base64 implementation with Johan’s modifications as explained in example_picture.html.

For applciation developers¶

When lino.Lino.use_eid_jslib is True, then the lino*.js fill define a function Lino.beid_read_card_handler which you can use in your application by subclassing lino.actions.BeIdReadCardAction. See lino_welfare.modlib.pcsw.models for a usage example. b
