UniToken Console Tool

UniToken Console is used for the management of devices, including specifying user permissions and maintaining certificates and the file system.

Device Management

Logon

To log onto the device:

1. Select the corresponding UniToken from the UniToken icon in the device list.
2. Input the corresponding PIN in "PIN".
3. Click "Logon".

After successfully logging on, the current user will be granted the corresponding permissions.

Logoff

To log off the device:

1. Select the UniToken in the device list.
2. Click "Logoff".

Once logged off, the Console will revert back to "Guest" permissions.

When the UniToken device is initially connected to the computer, the device automatically defaults to the "Guest" permission.

If an incorrect User PIN entered over 15 times in succession (this number, known as the Maximal Attempt Times, is 15 by default, however may be changed by the administrator), the UniToken device will automatically lock itself to prevent any further login attempts as a security measure, regardless if the correct PIN is entered afterwards. The administrator must log in to unlock the UniToken device.

User Management

Information about the UniToken device, such as UniToken ID, number of stored files, Current Permission, Used and Remaining Space, can be found under the "User" tab, as shown below. Functions that can be performed under the User tab depend on the permissions of the current user, and include Edit UniToken ID, Reset User PIN, Unlock, Edit SID and Change Admin PIN.

Edit UniToken ID (Admin, User)

The UniToken ID is the label assigned to the UniToken device to facilitate quick and easy identification of the token. To modify the UniToken ID:

1. Enter a UniToken ID (maximum 32 characters).
2. Click "OK".

Reset User PIN (Admin)

Under Reset User PIN, the Admin can reset the User PIN. To reset the PIN:

1. Enter a new User PIN under "New PIN".
2. Re-enter the new User PIN under "Verify PIN".
3. Click "OK".

Unlock (Admin)

If the maximum number of incorrect login attempts has been reached and, as a result, the UniToken device has locked itself, the Administrator must unlock the UniToken device for continued operation of the UniToken. To do so, the Administrator must log in, navigate to "Unlock" found under "User", and complete the following steps:

1. Enter a new User PIN user under "New User PIN".
2. Re-enter the new User PIN under "Verify User PIN".
3. Set the maximum number of incorrect PIN login attempts, between 0 and 15, under "Pin attempts limit (0 - 15)".
4. Click "OK".

Edit SID (Admin, User)

Software ID (SID) is a modifiable 32-bit unsigned integer that can be used a secondary form of identification for UniToken devices. The SID can be set to identify devices either through a software product’s individual serial number, or any unique or shared number to identify a batch of tokens which share some common feature(s).

To change the SID:

1. Enter the new SID.
2. Click "OK".

Change Admin PIN (Admin)

Logged in as the admin, to change the admin PIN:

1. Enter the old Admin PIN under "Old PIN".
2. Enter the new Admin PIN under "New PIN".
3. Re-enter the new Admin PIN under "Verify PIN".
4. Click "OK".

Change User PIN (User)

When logged into the UniToken device under the User permissions, the User has access to: Edit UniToken ID, and Change User PIN.

Disconnection

If the UniToken device is removed from the computer at any point in time, the console will display a warning message to reconnect the UniToken device.

File System Management

UniToken provides a secure file system for the storage of digital credentials and files using the three-level permission system. Under the "File" tab, a list of the files stored on the device can be viewed, including their respective number, name, size and file permission, as well as the ability to delete files and view the remaining space.

Create a file

When creating a file, the filename, file size and file permission of the file to be created is required.

Delete a file

To delete a file:

1. Select the file from the "File List" under the "File" tab that you wish to delete.
2. Click "Delete".

A pop-up message will appear if the file was deleted successfully.

Format

Formatting the UniToken device resets the UniToken’s ID, User PIN, and Certificate Container, located under "Format" as shown below. Notably, when formatting the token, the option to either enable or disable the Certificate Container is available. If the Certificate Container is created, Users can import and use certificates on the device. Without the Certificate Container, Users will not be able to do so.

Note: Formatting the UniToken device irreversibly deletes all data on the device! Ensure formatting the UniToken device is required before continuing!

Certificate Management

In the "Certificate" tab, a summary of certificates on the token can be viewed. Functions available to Users include viewing and importing certificates.

View

To view a specific digital certificate:

1. Select a certificate from the list under the "Certificate" tab.
2. Click "View".

A window will appear displaying all related information of the selected certificate.

Import

To import a digital certificate:

1. Click "Import".
2. Browse to the directory of the certificate.
3. With the chosen certificate selected, click "Open".
4. Input a password for the imported certificate.
5. Click "OK".

After importing the certificate, the certificate will appear in the list of stored digital certificates on the token.
