2 Smart Card Security for HP ProtectTools Smart Card Security for HP ProtectTools manages the smart card setup and configuration for computers equipped with an optional smart card reader. With Smart Card Security, you can ● Access smart card security features. ● Initialize a smart card so that it can be used with other HP ProtectTools modules, such as Credential Manager for HP ProtectTools. ● Work with the Computer Setup utility to enable smart card authentication in a power-on environment, and to configure separate smart cards for an administrator and a user. This requires a user to insert the smart card and optionally enter a PIN prior to allowing the operating system to load. ● Set and change the password used to authenticate users of the smart card. ● Back up and restore smart card BIOS passwords stored on the smart card. 6 Chapter 2 Smart Card Security for HP ProtectTools ENWW
