Overview of Token Initialization

The token initialization option restores a token to its initial state. It removes all objects stored on the token since manufacture, frees up memory, and resets the token password, allowing administrators to initialize the token according to specific organizational requirements or security modes.

Initializing a token is useful, for example, after an employee has left a company. It completely removes the employee’s individual certificates and other personal data from the token, preparing it to be used by another employee.

 

The following data is initialized:

The initialization process loads the SafeNet token file system on the token.

Using customizable parameters, you can select specific parameters that will apply to certain tokens. These parameters may be necessary if you wish to use the token for specific applications or if you require a specific user or administrator password on all the tokens in the organization.
