Solaris Smart Cards Administration Guide

PIN Property

The PIN property is an authentication property that defines a personal identification number (PIN) for the card. The default PIN created on the card is $$$$java. Either you or the user can change $$$$java to a personalized PIN. Consider giving all users at your site the same default PIN name (for example, changeme). Then make sure each user changes the PIN to a value known only to that user.


Note -

Although each application in the SolarisAuthApplet applet can have a different login name and password combination, only one PIN can be defined for the applet.


See "How to Change a PIN on a Smart Card (Console)" for step-by-step instructions on changing the PIN on a smart card.

Users can later change this PIN, as described in "How to Change the PIN on Your Smart Card (Command Line)".
