Logging into and out from tokens
This section describes how to use KMU to log on and off of tokens.
To log on to a token
-
Select an initialized token from the Select a token drop-down list.
-
Select a user type and enter the PIN corresponding to the selected token.
Note
Make sure that the CAPS lock is not on if the password contains lowercase characters.
PIN entry is masked so only the '•' character will be displayed as characters are typed. Some operations require the Security Officer (SO) to be logged on while other operations (private object operations) require the user to be logged on. It is also possible to open the token without logging in, but only public objects will be visible (also, depending on the security policy for the token, various operations like key generation might not be possible).
To log off from a token
Select Tokens > Logout From Token from the menu bar.
