Overview of SafeNet Authentication Client User Interface
Administrators use SafeNet Authentication Client Tools to set token policies. Users use Tools to
perform basic token management functions, such as changing passwords and viewing certificates on
the tokens. In addition, Tools provides users and administrators with a quick and easy way to transfer
digital certificates and keys between a computer and a token.
Tools includes an initialization feature allowing administrators to initialize tokens according to specific
organizational requirements or security modes, and a password quality feature which sets parameters
to calculate a token password quality rating.
Tools provides information about the token, including its identification and capabilities. It has access to
information stored on the token such as keys and certificates, and enables management of content,
such as password profiles.
To launch the application, do one of the following:
1 Click the application tray icon and select Tools from the menu.
2 From Mac desktop select Go > Applications > SafeNet > SafeNet Authentication Client >
SafeNet Authentication Client Tools.
NOTE Do not remove the token from the USB port during an operation. This may cause corruption of data on
the token.
