TROBLESHOOTING

61       Debug messages are printed if you pass the --debug parameter, which can
62       be useful for debugging or deeper analysis.
63
64       The  error  "No  device found" can be because a number of reasons.  The
65       simplest, of course, is that the device really is not connected to  the
66       machine (USB or NFC).  Another reason may be that it is in a mode where
67       "ykneomgr" cannot talk to it.  This can happen if the device is in OTP‐
68       only mode (mode 0), where you must use the "ykpersonalize" tool to mode
69       switch it from the OTP‐only mode.  It can also happen if the device  is
70       in  a  MODE_FLAG_EJECT mode (i.e., 81 or 82).  If that is the case, you
71       must touch the button in order to "insert" the virtual smartcard before
72       you can invoke "ykneomgr".
73

EXAMPLES

75       To  display the firmware version of a connected YubiKey NEO you use the
76       --get-version or -w parameter.  Typical  output  would  be  the  string
77       "3.0.4".
78
79         ykneomgr --get-version
80
81       To  display  the  serial  number you would use the --get-serialno or -s
82       parameter.
83
84         ykneomgr --get-serialno
85
86       To display the device mode you use the --get-mode or -m parameter.
87
88         ykneomgr --get-mode
89
90       The possible modes are 0 for HID device only, 1 for CCID device only, 2
91       for HID/CCID composite device.  For the CCID modes (i.e., 1 and 2), you
92       can add 80 to enable MODE_FLAG_EJECT  which  means  that  touching  the
93       YubiKey button will trigger eject/insert of the smartcard.  That is, 81
94       means CCID device only with touch eject/insert, and 82  means  HID/CCID
95       composite device with touch eject/insert.
96
97       To mode switch the NEO into OTP‐only mode, you use the --set-mode or -M
98       parameter with mode 0.  Note that you have to eject the YubiKey NEO and
99       re‐insert it before it changes mode.
100
101          ykneomgr --set-mode 0
102
103       To  mode  switch the NEO into CCID‐only mode, you use the --set-mode or
104       -M parameter with mode 1.  Note that you have to eject the YubiKey  NEO
105       and re‐insert it before it changes mode.
106
107          ykneomgr --set-mode 1
108
109       To mode switch the NEO into hybrid OTP/CCID composite mode, you use the
110       --set-mode or -M parameter with mode 2.  Note that you  have  to  eject
111       the YubiKey NEO and re‐insert it before it changes mode.
112
113          ykneomgr --set-mode 2
114
115       To  mode switch the NEO into CCID‐only mode, with the touch button act‐
116       ing as eject/insert of the card, you use the --set-mode or -M parameter
117       with  mode  81.   Note  that  you have to eject the YubiKey NEO and re‐
118       insert it before it changes mode.
119
120          ykneomgr --set-mode 81
121
122       To mode switch the NEO into hybrid OTP/CCID composite  mode,  with  the
123       touch button acting as eject/insert of the card, you use the --set-mode
124       or -M parameter with mode 82.  Note that you have to eject the  YubiKey
125       NEO and re‐insert it before it changes mode.
126
127          ykneomgr --set-mode 82
128
129       To  list the connected readers you use the --list-readers or -l parame‐
130       ter.
131
132          ykneomgr --list-readers
133
134       To list the available applets on the device you use  the  --applet-list
135       or  -a  parameter.   The  output is a list of AIDs identifying applets.
136       For example, d27600012401 means the OpenPGP applet.
137
138          ykneomgr --applet-list
139
140       To delete an applet you use the --applet-delete or -D parameter, giving
141       it  the  applet  AID as an parameter.  Note that deleting an applet may
142       take a second or two to complete.  Warning!  Deleting  an  applet  will
143       destroy  all storage associated with that applet, including any private
144       keys or other credentials.
145
146          ykneomgr --applet-delete d27600012401
147
148       To install a CAP file as an applet you use the --applet-install  or  -i
149       parameter,  giving  it the filename of the CAP file applet as a parame‐
150       ter.  Note that loading can take several seconds, for typical CAP  file
151       sizes it takes around 5 seconds.
152
153          ykneomgr --applet-install path/to/applet.cap
154
155       To  work  with  multiple card readers use the --reader or -r parameter,
156       giving it a substring of the card reader name to use.  Consider a  sys‐
157       tem  which  has  three  card readers, one YubiKey NEO in CCID mode, one
158       YubiKey NEO in OTP+CCID mode, and one  Gemalto  GemPC  Express  reader.
159       Running ykneomgr -l results in the following output:
160
161          0: Gemalto GemPC Express 00 00
162          1: Yubico Yubikey NEO CCID 01 00
163          2: Yubico Yubikey NEO OTP+CCID 02 00
164
165       To use the second NEO, you could use -r OTP+CCID as follows:
166
167          ykneomgr --reader OTP+CCID --applet-list
168
169       To  use  the first NEO, you could match on the trailing digits which is
170       the device number.  For example:
171
172          ykneomgr --reader 01 --applet-list
