Add other hardware tokens

DigiCert Trust Assistant allows additional hardware tokens with PKCS#11 interface drivers into the application.

To add another hardware token, you first need the PKCS#11 dynamic link library for the token already installed in your system. You can add the following JSON into keystores section in ~/.digicert-trust-assistant/config.json.

    {
      "id": "<Token-ID>",
      "enable": true,
      "icon": "HWToken",
      "type": "HWToken",
      "removable": true,
      "friendlyName": "<Token-FriendlyName>",
      "path": "<Token-Path>",
      "name": "<Token-Name>",
      "readWrite": true,
      "loginSessionValidity": <Session-Validity>,
      "driver": {
        "win": "<Token-Library-Path-for-Win>",
        "osx": "<Token-Library-Path-for-Mac>"
      }
    },

The description of the specific parameters required for the configuration:

  • Token-ID (string): Unique identifier

  • Token-FriendlyName (string): Unique name

  • Token-Name (string): Unique name

  • Token-Path (string): Unique path without white space

  • Session-Validity (number): Validity of login session in seconds. The default value is 300.

  • Token-Library-Path-for-Win (string): Path for PKCS#11 (dll)

  • Token-Library-Path-for-Mac (string): Path for PKCS#11 (dylib or so)

Anmerkung

Exit and relaunch the application to apply the configuration changes.
