How to set smartcard service auto start during reader driver installation?

NTDEV

In MSDN Doc “Windows Vista Smart Card Infrastructure”, it mentioned:

“By default, the service is configured for manual mode. Smart card reader
driver authors must configure the service to start automatically and call a
predefined entry point in winscard.dll that will start the service”

But I didn’t find any guide for how to do that in reader driver? Does it
mean driver need to call winscard.dll function? Which entry point?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you for your attention!

I found the normal way is to add SCardSvr register-edit section, just update
SCardSvr start type as atuto start.

HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Cryptography\Calais\Readers,

HKLM, System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SCardSvr,Start,0x00010001,2
