Initialize Safenet Token


https://support.globalsign.com/customer/portal/articles/1999891


Important notes:


  • Initialize token before installing new certificate. This will remove old certificate details.


  • Note: From January 30, 2017, all newly issued AATL Certificates will include a Timestamp URL in the Certificate. This means that TSA will be automatically bundled with AATL Certificates by default and will no longer be an optional service. This applies to the following: New, Renewals, and Reissues.


  • If at the install Certificate stage there is no token for you to select, there will be an issue with the driver. If user is using Windows 10 or above, they will need to uninstall driver and install the latest one from token issuer's website (Safenet).


  • If the error appears as below in processor log please change the setting from ' Use Timestamp in authority server ' to 'Use clock from sign as computer' in the Digital Signature section in Spindle.
