Smart card usage

Editing smart cards

Smart cards can be used for user authentication, master key storage and backup, and as a system

card for authorizing use of encryption operations.

2. Insert the smart card into the card reader.

3. After the card’s ID is displayed by the card reader in the Card ID field, enter the security

administrator password used to allow editing of the smart card, then click Login.

NOTE

The Card Password field is activated after the card ID is read, and the Login button is activated

after the password is entered in the Card Password field.

4. Edit the card as needed. Note the following:

• Card Assignment: A maximum of 64 characters is permitted for the user first and last

name to whom the card is assigned. All characters are valid in the editable columns,

including spaces.

• Notes: A maximum of 256 characters is permitted for any miscellaneous notes. Editing

these values in the BNA application does not modify the information that is stored on the

card. Notes are optional.

• The Change Password check box must be selected before you can enter the new password

information. You must re-enter the new password for verification.

5. Click OK.

NOTE

You can view the status indicator at the bottom of the dialog box to determine card reader status.
