Changing a User or Security Officer PIN

It may sometimes be necessary to change the User or SO PIN on a particular token. The appropriate user may perform a PIN change at any stage and on any token.

To perform a PIN change, use the command line utility ctkmu.

To perform an SO PIN change on slot 1:

ctkmu p –s1 –O

The utility will prompt the user for the current SO PIN and the new PIN must be entered and confirmed.

To perform a token user PIN change on slot 2:

ctkmu p –s2

The utility will prompt the user for the current PIN and the new PIN must be entered and confirmed.

Note: This command is also used to initialize the User PIN. When this command is executed for an uninitialized token, the utility will prompt the user for the SO PIN and to set the initial user PIN.
