#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Author: Mark Rijckenberg 
# Latest modification date: 2025/3/14
# Prerequisites: Rhino Linux/Ubuntu/Debian, Brave web browser, ACR38 AC1038-based Smart Card Reader
# Prerequisites: acsccid driver for ACR38 AC1038-based card reader
# This bash shell script is compatible with Rhino Linux and latest version of Brave web browser
# This script does NOT work reliably with Firefox browser, nor with the libacr38u drivers
# This script only needs to be run once, not after every reboot of the PC
# This script can also be used right BEFORE attempting to digitally sign a PDF
# okular # procedure to electronically sign PDF using Belgian eid card:
# 1) run bash shell script eid-card-reader-activation-script
# 2) go to okular::settings::configure backends::PDF::set signature backend to NSS 
# and set Certificate database to  custom value ~/.pki/nssdb
# 3) go to okular::Tools::Digitally sign

echo "WARNING: This script will first close all your webbrowsers to ensure a correct activation of the eid card reader"
echo "Make sure your eid card reader is connected to your PC and that your eid card is already inserted in the eid card reader"
