Purpose

In order to set up your HID Crescendo card with Microsoft

Windows® secure log-on, follow the instructions in the manual,

which describe such activities as obtaining a smart card user /

logon certificate.
This manual assumes you have installed SafeSign Identity Client

and have a Crescendo C200 or C700 card.
Not all activities described in this manual can be performed by a

Setting up Microsoft® Certificate Services is meant as guidance

configuring Microsoft Certificate Services.
