Maintaining Your eToken

On a Windows computer, you can use the Aladdin eToken Runtime Environment software to change your eToken’s password or name, to view the contents of your eToken, and remove keys and certificates from it. If it is not already on your computer, you can download it from the Web; see Aladdin eToken Runtime Environment.

If you remove your certificate from your eToken, Computing Services can install a new certificate for you onto your eToken; please contact the Computing Help Desk at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, or call your department's computing support office.

Note: Any e-mail messages or files encrypted with the previous certificate can no longer be decrypted. We recommend you only encrypt a file if you have an unencrypted backup or you do not care whether you lose the document. An example might be sending somebody a password; you don't care if you lose your encrypted copy as you can make another and send it.

Try not to get the token wet or dirty. If it gets wet, dry it out before using it.

For information about how to use the eToken Runtime Environment software, start the application and consult its online help.
