Overview of Token Initialization
The token initialization process removes all objects stored on the token since manufacture, frees up memory, and resets the Token Password. Then the token is initialized with specific settings according to the organizational requirements or security modes.
Typically, initialization is carried out on a token when an employee leaves the company, enabling the token to be issued to another employee. It completely removes the employee’s individual certificates and other personal data from the token, preparing it to be used by another employee.
The following data is initialized:
n Token name
n Token Password
n Administrator Password (optional).
n Maximum number of logon failures allowed
n Requirement to change the Token Password on the first logon
n Initialization key
n All user-generated data, such as certificates and profiles
Using customizable parameters, you may be able to select specific parameters that will apply to certain tokens. These parameters may be necessary if you wish to use a token for specific applications or if you require a specific Token Password or Administrator Password on multiple tokens in the organization.
