Red Hat CERTIFICATE SYSTEM 8.0 - MANAGING SMART CARDS WITH THE ENTERPRISE SECURITY CLIENT 1-23-2010 Manual page 29

2. Insert an uninitialized smart card, pre-formatted with the Phone Home information for the TPS and
the enrollment interface URL for the user's organization.
The smart card can be added either by placing a USB form factor smart card into a free USB slot,
or by inserting a standard, full-sized smart card into a smart card reader.
When the system recognizes the smart card, it displays a message indicating it has detected an
uninitialized smart card.
3. Click Enroll My Smart Card Now to display the smart card enrollment form.
NOTE
If you remove the card at this point, a message displays stating that the smart card
can no longer be detected. Reinsert the card to continue with the enrollment process.
The enrollment files are accessed remotely; they reside on the TPS instance. If the network
connection is bad or broken, then, an error may come up saying Check the Network Connection
and Try Again. (It is also possible that the enrollment window appears to open but the enrollment
process doesn't proceed. The enrollment pages can be cached if the Enterprise Security Client
previously connect to them successfully, so the enrollment UI opens even if the network is offline.
Try restarting Enterprise Security Client and check the network connection.)
4. Because the Smart Card Manager now knows where the enrollment UI is located (it is included in
the Phone Home information), the enrollment form is displayed for the user to enter the required
information.
