Changing the Token Initialization Key

Change the Initialization Key to protect against accidental token initialization in the future. If the Initialization Key is changed from the factory-set default value, the user will be required to open the Initialization Key window and enter the key during future initialization of the token.

To change the Token Initialization Key:

1         Open the Advanced Settings window.
See Configuring Advanced Initialization Settings

2         Click Change Initialization Key.

The Initialization Key window opens.

3         Complete the fields as follows:

Field

Description

Use  default initialization key

Select this option if the Initialization Key was not changed from its default during the previous token initialization. The factory-set default is used as the key for the current token initialization.

Use this initialization key

Enter the Initialization Key configured in the This Value field during the previous token initialization.

Change the key for the next initialization to:

t      Default: Revert to the factory-set default so that the user is not required to enter an Initialization Key during subsequent token initializations.

t      Random: If selected, it will never be possible to re-initialize the token.

t      This Value: Select and confirm a unique key. During subsequent token initializations, the user must enter this key in the Use this Initialization Key field.

4         Click OK to return to the Advanced Token Initialization Settings window.
