Netscape Certificate Management System Installation and Setup Guide • October 2001

Managing Tokens Used by the Subsystems

There are two main tasks involved in managing the tokens used by Certificate
Management System:

•

Viewing Tokens

•

Changing a Token’s Password

Viewing Tokens

To view a list of the tokens currently installed for a CMS instance:

1.

Log in to the CMS window (see “Logging In to the CMS Window” on
page 343).

2.

Select the Configuration tab, and then in the right pane, select the Encryption
tab.

3.

In the Map To section, check the Token drop-down list.

It shows the names (as specified when the tokens were installed) of external
tokens installed for the currently selected CMS instance. For information on
installing external tokens, see “External Token” on page 451.
