The cardtool.ini file is a configuration file primarily associated with CardTool, a diagnostic utility used for communicating with smart cards and readers. It is often part of Software Development Kits (SDKs) for smart card hardware, such as those provided by Advanced Card Systems (ACS) for their readers like the ACR83 or ACR80. Overview of CardTool and cardtool.ini
Because it is a plain text (ASCII) file, you can open and modify cardtool.ini using any basic text editor: cardtool.ini
Like most .ini files, this file acts as a plain-text configuration script that stores application-specific settings in a structured "key-value" format. In the context of ZEDAL, it handles the backend parameters required for the software to communicate with hardware and middleware. Key Features and Functions The cardtool
cardtool.ini changes on a clone, not the production card.Enable=Yes, and you haven't committed the changes, they vanish on reboot. That is a feature, not a bug.
