Reader Settings

During the SafeNet Authentication Client Tools installation, four virtual smart card readers and two SafeNet eToken Virtual readers are installed.

When a token is inserted into a USB port, or SafeNet eToken Virtual is added, the effect is the same as inserting a smartcard into one of the readers.

The number of default readers on a computer can be changed by a user with local administrator rights on that computer.

  1. Open SafeNet Authentication Client Tools.

  2. Restart Tools to make the changes effective.
