To Change the PIN on a Card (Command Line)

If you prefer the command line, use the following procedure.

Steps

1. Verify that the ocfserv daemon is enabled.

   The following command provides the status of the service.

   % svcs network/rpc/ocfserv

   ---

   Note –

   Before you make any changes to Smartcard, you must make sure that the ocfserv daemon is enabled.

2. (Optional) If necessary, as root, enable the ocfserv daemon.

   # svcadm enable network/rpc/ocfserv

3. With the smart card inserted in the card reader, type the following to change the default PIN ($$$$java) to 001234:

   # smartcard -c init -A A000000062030400 -P '$$$$java' pin=001234

   ---

   Note –

   You must type the loaded applet ID and the current PIN. In the previous example, -A A000000062030400 specifies the SolarisAuthApplet applet ID (aid) and the PIN is the default SolarisAuthApplet value. Be sure to type the new PIN correctly because you are not prompted to confirm the new PIN. Enclose the PIN, $$$$java, or any PIN that contains shell special characters—such as $—within single quotes. Otherwise, the shell tries to interpret the PIN as a variable, and the command fails.
