Adding and removing slots
The Administrator can use the ctconf utility to add or remove slots in ProtectToolkit-C.
Note
It is not possible to add slots using ctconf while other ProtectToolkit-C applications are running.
Adding slots
When adding slots, new slots will have no effect on existing slots.
To add slots
This example will add 2 slots to the current configuration. The user will be prompted for the Administrator’s PIN.
After adding slots, smart card and admin slot numbers will be readjusted automatically. Each token in the newly-created slots must be initialized, as described in Token initialization.
Removing slots
Before removing slots from ProtectToolkit-C, ensure that the user or an application is not currently accessing a token within that slot. Removal of a slot should only be undertaken after ensuring that the contained token and objects are no longer in use.
To remove slots
This example will permanently remove slot 2 from ProtectToolkit-C. The user will be prompted for the Administrator’s PIN.
