Remote Administration
Remote Administration uses smartcards and a Trusted Verification Device. Before any smartcard can be used, it must be registered in the acceptable card white list.
For added security, each smartcard’s unique serial number can be entered. The serial number is the 16-digit number found at the bottom of the card. You can allow any smartcard with the wildcard character (*).
Save the cardlist and close the cardlist configuration file.
Initially these smartcards will form your Administrator Card Set. For information about ACS, see the User Guide for your HSM.
The cardlist configuration file can be found in: C:\ProgramData\nCipher\Key Management Data\config\cardlist.
By default, ProgramData is hidden.
In Windows Explorer, select View, then select Hidden items.

Example cardlist configuration file:
# This is the cardlist file, which contains the serial numbers of any
# Remote Administration Ready Smartcards that a system administrator
# has permitted to be used.
These serial numbers are printed on the
# face of the smartcards
# Examples of valid 16 digit serial numbers:
# XXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXX
# XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
# XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
# To permit any cards presented to be used:
# *
# The default configuration file has no cards listed, this means
# that all cards will be rejected by default.
