Using the eToken Properties application, administrators set token policies, and users perform basic token management functions, such as changing passwords and viewing certificates on the tokens. In addition, eToken Properties provides users and administrators with a quick and easy way to transfer digital certificates and keys between a computer and a token.
eToken Properties 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 an eToken password quality rating.
Caution: Do not remove the token from the USB port during an operation. Many operations, such as key generation, certificate enrollment, certificate removal etc. require multiple actions. If the token is removed during one of these actions, the data structure on the token may be damaged and data lost as a result, and the token may need to be reinitialized.
eToken Properties provides all possible 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 only, such as password profiles, which is understood by the user (that is, not PKCS#11 objects) and by the PKI Client but not by third-parties, either vendor or in-house applications.
