Smart card usage

Save As button: Saves the entire list of smart cards to a file. The available formats are
comma-separated values (.csv) and HTML (.html).

Card Details table: Card details vary based on the card type.

For Authentication cards, the Card Details table shows all group names for which the
card is registered.

For System cards, the Card Details table shows all encryption engines for which the
card is registered by switch name and, for encryption blades, slot number.

For Recovery cards, the Card Details table shows the group name, the card creation
date, and the position of the card in the set (for example, Card 1 of 3).

3. Select a smart card from the table, then do one of the following:

Click Delete to remove the smart card from BNA database. Deleting smart cards from the
BNA database keeps the Smart Cards table at a manageable size, but does not invalidate
the smart card. The smart card can still be used. You must deregister a smart card to
invalidate its use.

NOTE

The Delete operation applies only to recovery cards.

Click Save As to save the entire list of smart cards to a file. The available formats are
