Configuring Advanced Initialization Settings

To configure advanced initialization settings:

1         Open the Token Initialization window.
See Configuring Initialization Settings

2         Click Advanced.

The Advanced Token Initialization Settings window opens.

3         Complete the fields as follows:

Field

Description

One-factor logon

Default: disabled.

When one factor logon is enabled, only the presence of the token is required to log on to applications. The Token Password is not required.

Password quality settings on token

Default: enabled

Select to keep password quality requirements on the token device.

OTP Support

Default: disabled

Select to enable OTP support (on compatible tokens).

2048-bit RSA key support

Default: enabled

Select to enable 2048-bit RSA key support (on compatible tokens).

Private data caching

Default: Always (fastest)

To enhance performance, SafeNet Authentication Client caches public information stored on the token. This option defines when private information (excluding private keys on the token) can be cached outside the token.

Select one of the following options:

t      Always (fastest): Private information is always cached in the application memory. This enables fast performance, as certain information is cached on the host machine. However, this option is less secure than if no cache is allowed.

t      While user is logged on: Private information is cached outside the token as long as the user is logged on to the token. Once the user logs out, all the private data in the cache is erased.

t      Never: Private information is not cached.

Manually set the number of reserved RSA keys

Default: disabled

Set the number of reserved RSA keys to reserve space in the token memory. This ensures that there will always be memory available for keys.

Certification

Default: N/A

Select the certification type for formatting the token.

Select one of the following options:

t      N/A: None

t      FIPS: Federal Information Processing Standards is a US government approved set of standards designed to improve the utilization and management of computer and related telecommunication systems

t      Common Criteria: an international standard for computer security certification

Change Initialization Key (link)

The initialization key protects against accidental initialization and requires a separate password to be entered before initialization can occur.

Common Criteria Settings (link)

If Certification is set to Common Criteria, click this button to set the certificate import PIN and the maximum number of certificates for which to reserve space on the token.

4         You can do the following:

t           To change the token initialization key, see Changing the Token Initialization Key

t           To define the Common Criteria settings, see Configuring Common Criteria Settings

5         To return to the Token Initialization window, click OK.
