Autoconnecting SafeNet eToken Virtual

If SafeNet eToken Virtual is locked to a flash drive, and SafeNet eToken Virtual file is located in the

eTokenVirtual folder, when the drive is connected, SafeNet Authentication Client automatically

recognizes the insertion of the SafeNet eToken Virtual. Also, when the device is removed, SafeNet

Authentication Client recognizes the removal of the SafeNet eToken Virtual.

NOTE If the SafeNet eToken Virtual is located on the mass storage device in a location other than the eTokenVirtual

folder, you will need to connect the eToken manually in Tools. If the mass storage device is removed, without

the SafeNet eToken Virtual being disconnected in Tools, the SafeNet eToken Virtual will be displayed as an eToken

with corrupted data

(SeeAuthenticatorIconsonpage 21).

TIP Before removing the flash drive from a Mac computer, we recommend using the Mac OS Eject procedure

(Right-click on the authenticator icon on the Mac desktop and select Eject).
