Re-initializing a token
Re-initialization of a token is generally performed when the objects contained on that token are no longer being used or the owner of those objects is no longer available to access them. After re-initialization the token can be reused for a different application.
Re-initialization of a token can only be performed by the slot Security Officer (SO).
Note
Re-initialization of a token will erase all objects and user data contained on that token and set a new user PIN. For more information about PINs, including details of what constitutes a valid PIN, refer to PINs and passwords.
To re-initialize a token
This example will erase the token on slot 1 and initialize it with a new User PIN and a new label. The user will be prompted for the slot's SO PIN.
