Article summary

Smart cards are used in a PKI environment. If your environment is not set up for smart card enrollment and use, please see our setup guide.

You will need the following for everything in the portal to function properly for smart card enrollments:

Enrolling On Behalf

  1. Log into the Admin Portal as an administrator or the one_sys_admin.
  2. Go to the Users tab and search for the user you want to enroll on behalf of.
  3. Make sure they're in a correct user state.

    If you do not see this option, make sure your authentication set does not have "Emergency Access" in the Secure Workflow section.

  1. You'll be brought to the enrollment screen for smart cards.

    To see if the card is being seen by the reader, you can click "Ok" without inserting the card. Click on "Details" in the pop-up box that appears.

    If you receive an error after clicking "Ok", double-check your ActiveX settings and that you have the Client-Side Components installed on the machine you're using.

    Click "Ok".


  1. You'll be brought to a new screen where you must set up a PIN. Enter and confirm then click "Ok".

  1. The system will spin as it starts to enroll the certificate to the card. A Windows pop-up will prompt you to re-enter the PIN from Step 6 (and click "Ok").

The system will spin a little bit longer and will bring you back to the user's info page. You should see the user state update.

Additionally, you can click "User Certificates" to see and validate the certificates' enrollment to the user.

Self Enrollment

Enrolling on one's own through the portal looks exactly like the Enroll On Behalf process. The only difference is the login.

 

  1. Log in with your username and domain.
    manual sc enroll 1.png

  1. The system will recognize your account needs to enroll credentials, in this case, your smart card.

    If you are not brought to this screen, have an administrator check your user state.

  2. You'll be brought to this screen and the enrollment continues like normal.
