How to Set Up the Default Authentication Mechanism for the Server and Client Applications (Command Line)

1. Become superuser.

2. Set the default authentication mechanism for all client applications.

   # smartcard -c admin -a default -x modify authmechanism="Pin | Password | ChallengeResponse"

   For example, if you want the default authentication mechanism for client programs to be PIN Password, type:

   # smartcard -c admin -a default -x modify authmechanism="Pin Password"

   Thereafter, when you type smartcard -c admin, you see the following default authentication mechanisms:

   default.authmechanism = Pin Password

3. Set the default authentication mechanism for the server.

   # smartcard -c admin -x modify authmechanism="Pin | Password | ChallengeResponse""

   For example, if you want the default authentication mechanism for ocfserv to be PIN Password, type:

   # smartcard -c admin -x modify authmechanism="Pin Password"

   Note -

   If the client and server authentication sequences are not the same, the client authentication sequence takes precedence over the server authentication sequence.
