If you want to use your eToken with Outlook, insert the eToken in your computer, then launch the eToken Properties software. Click the Advanced tab, then on the PKI Client Settings link in the left-hand pane. Click the Other tab in the right-hand pane. Make sure the preference Copy user certificates to a local store is checked (it should be checked by default when you install the eToken drivers). Otherwise, Outlook will not recognize the eToken if you start it before inserting the eToken. You will have to restart Outlook to get it to recognize the eToken.
To configure Outlook 2003 to use the PKI certificate that's installed on your eToken, open Outlook, select Tools, Options, then the Security tab. To configure Outlook 2007 to do this, open Outlook 2007, select Tools, Trust Center, and E-mail Security (on the left-side pane). For either version of Outlook, put a check mark beside Add digital signature to outgoing messages and Send clear text signed message when sending signed messages. Note: We do not recommend checking the "Encrypt contents and attachments for outgoing messages" box. Using your eToken to encrypt e-mails can be risky, because if you lose your eToken and do not have a backup copy of your private key, you may not be able to read any of the encrypted e-mails in your In Box.
Next, click the Settings... button. In the Certificates and Algorithms section, click the Choose... button to the right of Signing Certificate, click to highlight the PKI certificate on the eToken, then click OK three times to return to the main part of Outlook.
When you send an e-mail, you will be prompted to enter your eToken password, and after doing so, your e-mail will be sent with a digital signature attached.
