Importing a Certificate onto a Token
The following certificate types are supported in SafeNet Authentication Client (Mac):
 .pfx
 .p12
 .cer
If you select a PFX file, the private key and corresponding certificate chain will be imported to the
token. You will be prompted to enter the password (if it exists) protecting the PFX file.
If you select a CER file (which contains only X.509 certificates), the program checks if a private key
exists on the token. If the private key is found, the certificate is stored with it.
To import a certificate:
1 Open
SafeNet Authentication Client Tools .
2 Click the Advanced View icon.
3 In the left pane of the
Advanced View window, select the required token.
4 Do one of the following:
 In the left pane of the Advanced View window, select the required token and click the Import
