Remarks

For the middleware parameter, the following middlewares are currently defined and supported by FIM CM:

Type of middleware	String to pass in middleware parameter
AET SafeSign Identity Client	A.E.T. Europe B.V.
Aladdin eToken Runtime Environment	Aladdin Knowledge Systems Ltd.
Axalto Access Client Software	Axalto
Gemplus GemSafe	Gemplus
Microsoft Base CSP	MSBaseCSP
Siemens HiPath SIcurity Card API	Siemens AG (C)

FIM CM, by using the smart card client, interacts with smart cards by using one of the supported middlewares. Therefore, if you want to use the support for FIM CM request execution that is built into FIM CM, you must to use one of the supported middleware types in the previous list. However, if you implement your own support for smart card interaction and FIM CM request execution, you can specify any middleware.

When using PKCS#11-based middleware, the string to pass in the middleware parameter is extracted from the manufacturerID member of the CK_SLOT_INFO structure defined in PKCS#11.

The following permissions are checked when this method is called:

The current user must have Execute permissions on the FIM CM request.

The status of the FIM CM request will be set to Executing.
