Hardware for Digital Signing preferences
Connect can access secure hardware devices (USB Tokens, Smart Cards, and Hardware
Security Modules) through PKCS#11, for use in creating PDFdigital signatures.
This Preferences page allows for the configuration of these secure hardware devices. It caters
for the two conflicting needs of Connect users.
1. Connect user wanting to create digital signatures using a secure device have to configure
the DLL for using the secure device, so Connect can find the DLL when a digital signature
is necessary.
2. The Connect administrator wanting the configuration of DLLs loaded by Connect Server,
Designer, and their engines to happen outside of Presets, Templates, or other resources.
This so the administrator can control what DLLs are loaded instead of allowing user
created configurations triggering third party DLLs at runtime.
This preferences page caters for both needs.
The PKCS#11 Modules and Tokens table contains a list of Hardware devices that can be
used by Connect.
Hardware devices can be added, modified or deleted from the table using the following buttons:
l
Add: Add a new hardware device to the list. This launches the Add PKCS#11 Module
dialog.
l
Edit: Edit that information relating to an existing hardware device. This launches the
Edit PKCS#11 Module dialog.
l
Delete: Remove an existing hardware device from the list.
