Smart card
If a smart card reader is installed or connected to the computer, the Smart card page has two tabs:
●Settings—Configure the computer to automatically lock when a smart card is removed.
NOTE: The computer locks only if the smart card was used as an authentication credential when logging on to Windows. Removing a smart card that was not used to log on to Windows does not lock the computer.
●Administration—Select from the following options:
◦Initialize the smart card—Prepares a smart card for use with HP Protect Tools. If a smart card has been previously initialized outside of HP ProtectTools (contains an asymmetric key-pair and associated certificate), it does not need to be initialized again, unless initialization with a specific certificate is desired.
◦Change smart card PIN—Enables you to change the PIN used with the smart card.
◦Erase HP ProtectTools data only—Erases only the HP ProtectTools certificate created during initialization of the card. No other data is erased from the card.
◦Erase all data on the smart card—Erases all data on the specified smart card. The card can no longer be used with HP ProtectTools or any other applications.
NOTE: Features that are not supported by your smart card are not available.
