Besides the default administrator, ADMIN, all administrators will require a smart card for strong authentication to the HSM. To create and use smart cards, the HSM comes with a Universal Serial Bus (USB)-based smart card reader. Despite there being USB slots on the HSM, this reader must be plugged into the SAKA server and not the HSM. Additionally, for the reader to work, the Linux root account must be logged in. Once these requirements are met, CAT can be configured to use the smart card reader.

In CAT, click File → Settings to open the Settings window. In this window, ensure that the Pin Pad Type is REINER SCT Cyberjack and Port is USB Port.


 

When finished with these changes, click OK to close the window.
