Administration Utility (gCTAdmin) Reference

The Administration Utility (gCTAdmin) provides a graphical user interface to functions that allow management of the HSM hardware using a PKCS #11- sub-system. The functionality which is provided is identical to that of the command line utility ctconf (Command Line Utilities Reference).

NOTE   The gCTAdmin application is a Java-based application. A working Java runtime that supports the Swing user interface must be installed. This application has been tested with JDK 1.2, JDK 1.3 and JDK 1.1 (with Swing installed). The screenshots throughout this manual may vary from platform to platform.

When WLD mode is configured, this utility does not operate.

To start gCTAdmin using Microsoft Windows, locate the program folder titled SafeNet ProtectToolkit C RT or SafeNet ProtectToolkit C SDK in the Windows Start menu, and click on the appropriate shortcut. To start the admin utility in a UNIX environment, enter gctadmin at the command prompt.

To exit the utility, select File>Exit from the menu bar.

Select Help from the Main Menu for information about the current version of the software.
