Key storage management

The key storage works as safe-box for keys and certificates. You require the PIN to access sensitive data in hardware tokens.

PIN management

The application provides PIN management for hardware tokens through the following actions:

  • Change PIN

  • Reset PIN

Select a token under Tokens. Click Quick actions and under PIN management, select one to trigger the action.

Warning

Every incorrect PIN verification attempt consumes a PIN retry attempt counter. Try to avoid repetitive wrong attempts.

  • Change PIN: Enter Current PIN, New PIN, and Confirm PIN into each input field, and click Change PIN.

    This feature enables the end-user to change their existing PIN.

  • Reset PIN: Enter the PIN for the Administrator and a New PIN for User, click Reset.

    This feature resets the token (re-initializes the token and deletes all the data) and helps in creating a new PIN for the user.

Warning

When you reset a PIN, all your keys and certificates are deleted. The Reset PIN functionality is not supported for Yubico tokens. DigiCert Trust Assistant version 1.1.6 or below does not support Reset PIN for Yubico tokens.
