Authentication with a Smart Card
With the use of the P2-EUST/C user station and the P2CIM-AUSB-C CIM,
Paragon II enables you to control access to servers that require user
authentication with an appropriate smart card. Therefore, data security is
further enhanced by only permitting users who pass appropriate login
credentials to a target server to view and manage the server's data. Note
that the integrated card reader of the P2-EUST/C is used when accessing
target servers, but not when accessing Paragon II. The method of
accessing Paragon II is unchanged.
Installing the P2CIM-AUSB-C Driver in Windows
The target server must be running the proper driver in order to
communicate with the card reader. If the operating system of your server
is Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, Server 2003 or Server 2008 (including
32-bit and 64-bit versions), it has the capability to auto-detect and install
the proper driver. Depending on the operating system, the driver
installation procedure may vary slightly.
To install the P2CIM-AUSB-C driver:
1. Connect the target server to the network.
2. Plug the P2CIM-AUSB-C into the server's USB port. The Found New
Hardware Wizard dialog appears.
If the wizard does not appear automatically, do this:
a. Choose Start.
b. Right-click My Computer, and then choose Manage from the
shortcut menu. The Computer Management window opens.
c. Click Device Manager on the left pane.
d. Right-click Smart card readers on the right pane, and then
choose Scan for hardware changes from the shortcut menu.
