8.1 Hard Token Management
This section describes how to enable hard tokens and manage them using the ESA Management Console.
This mainly consists of three functions:
1. Importing the hard tokens into the system
2. Deleting hard tokens
3. Resynchronizing hard tokens
8.1.1 Enable
Hard tokens are disabled by default and must be enabled before use. Once enabled, hard tokens will need to be imported before
the full functionality is available.
Hard tokens can be enabled as follows:
1. Launch the ESET Secure Authentication Management Console and navigate to the “Advanced Settings” node for your domain.
2. Expand the “Hard Tokens” section and check the “Hard tokens are enabled” check box. Save the changes.
3. If successful a "Hard Tokens" node will appear. Hard token management can be done here.
8.1.2 Import
To fully utilize hard token functionality, hard tokens need to be imported. Once done these hard tokens will be available to assign
to users.
Tokens can be imported as follows:
1. Launch the ESET Secure Authentication Management Console and navigate to the "Hard Tokens" node for your domain.
2. Click the "Import Tokens" action.
3. Select the file to import. This should be an XML file in the PSKC format. NOTE: If such a file was not received from the hard token
vendor, please contact ESA support.
4. Click the Import tokens button.
