How to Log in to the Solaris Desktop With Your Smart Card

1. Insert your smart card into the card reader.

   The Solaris desktop environment prompts you for your PIN.

2. Type the PIN provided by the system administrator, either your preferred PIN or a default PIN.

   After you type the correct PIN, one of the following happens:

   • If the smart card contains your password, you automatically are logged in to the desktop.

   • If your smart card does not contain your login name and password, the desktop prompts you for them, as in a standard UNIX login. After you type the correct login name and password, you are logged in to the desktop.
