Datakey card usage

Support for Datakey smart cards was withdrawn in TKE 7.0. You can make a backup of an existing Datakey CA smart card onto a more current smart card part number or copy key parts from an existing Datakey TKE smart card onto a more current smart card part number, but you cannot otherwise use Datakey smart cards on TKE 7.0 or later.

Use the Smart Card Utility program to backup an existing Datakey CA smart card. This allows the zone of the Datakey CA smart card to continue to be used on TKE 7.0 or later. Use the Backup CA smart card option in the CA Smart Card pull-down menu to backup a CA smart card.

Copy key parts from an existing Datakey TKE smart card using the Cryptographic Node Management Utility. The target TKE smart card must be in the same zone as the source TKE smart card. This allows key parts from the Datakey TKE smart card to be used on TKE 7.0 or later. Use the Copy Smart Card option in the Smart Card pull-down menu to copy keys and key parts from one TKE smart card to another. The Smart Card pull-down menu is displayed only when smart card readers are enabled under the File pull-down menu.
