Maintaining Your eToken

You can use the Aladdin eToken Properties application 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, a new certificate can be installed for you onto your eToken; please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, or call your department's IT support office.

Note: Any e-mail messages or files encrypted with the previous certificate may no longer be able to 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, or if you have a backup of your private key. An example of using encryption 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 eToken wet or dirty. If it gets wet, dry it out before using it.

For information about how to use the eToken Properties software, start the application and consult its online help. If you have questions, please contact the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) at 646-2999 and select from the options provided, send electronic mail to help@dartmouth.edu, or call your department's IT support office.
