When entering PINs, the PIN prompt appears on both the TKE workstation
screen as well as on the smart card reader. When certain tasks will
take over one minute for SCUP to execute, information messages are
returned. Be patient so that you do not have to restart the task.
Beginning in TKE 7.2, TKE supports 2, 3, or 4 smart card readers. The additional readers were
added to reduce the amount of smart card swapping needed during the command signature phase for PKCS
#11 (EP11) functions. However, the additional readers can be used in other operations too. Some
screens in SCUP look different when more than 2 readers are present.
Note:On TKE workstation
feature codes #0847 or older, there are only 6 USB ports. This is enough ports for the mouse,
keyboard, and 4 smart card readers. However, this configuration does not leave any USB ports for
removable media. If you want to have 4 smart card readers and have ports available for USB flash
memory, we recommend the purchase of an unpowered 2 or 4 slot USB hub. Plug the smart card readers
into the hub which will leave other USB ports available for USB flash memory drivers.
The utility is capable of overwriting your smart cards. You will
be prompted to reply OK before the card is
overwritten.
To start SCUP, click on Trusted Key Entry in
the main workstation screen. This will display various workstation
functions.
Note: You can use the Smart Card Utility Program if you
are logged on at the console as ADMIN or TKEUSER. In addition, you
must be logged onto the TKE workstation crypto adapter with a profile
defined when you configured the TKE workstation from CNM. You are
prompted to logon to the TKE workstation crypto adapter if you are
not currently logged on.
Click on Applications. Under Applications,
click on Smart Card Utility Program. The Smart
Card Utility Program screen appears.Figure 1. First
