Opening The Enterprise Security Client On Microsoft Windows; Configuring Phone Home - Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8.0 - MANAGING SMART CARDS WITH THE ENTERPRISE SECURITY CLIENT 1-23-2010 Manual

Chapter 3. Using the Enterprise Security Client
This daemon listens silently for smart cards and opens the GUI as soon as a smart card is inserted.
To open the Enterprise Security Client GUI manually, click Applications, System Settings, and then
Smart Card Manager.

3.2.2. Opening the Enterprise Security Client on Microsoft Windows

Double-click the Enterprise Security Client icon on the desktop, or from the Start menu. The
Enterprise Security Client is also configured to start on reboot.

3.3. Configuring Phone Home

The Phone Home feature in the Enterprise Security Client associates information within each smart
card with information that points to distinct TPS servers and Enterprise Security Client UI pages.
Whenever the Enterprise Security Client accesses a new smart card, it can connect to the TPS
instance and retrieve the Phone Home information.
Phone Home retrieves and then caches this information; because the information is cached locally, the
TPS subsystem does not have to be contacted each time a formatted smart card is inserted.
The information can be different for every key or token, which means that different TPS servers and
enrollment URLs can be configured for different corporate or customer groups. Phone Home makes
it possible to configure different TPS servers for different issuers or company units, without having to
configure the Enterprise Security Client manually to locate the correct server and URL.
NOTE
In order for the TPS subsystem to utilize the Phone Home feature, Phone Home must be
enabled in the TPS configuration file, as follows:
op.format.userKey.issuerinfo.enable=true
