These installtion instructions are for the SafeNet Authentication Client 10.2

The following items should be taken into consideration before installing the SafeNet Authentication Client:

• If you are using APEX and do not plan to send or retrieve transactions using the CeRTNA APEX client you do not need to install the SafeNet Authentication Client.
• If you are using a CeRTNA G2G workstation you do not need to install the SafeNet Authentication Client.
• Important: If you plan to use your CeRTNA G2G workstation as a backup to your CeRTNA ERDS workstation, you should install the SafeNet Authentication Client on your CeRTNA G2G workstation.

CeRTNA uses SafeNet USB tokens for ‘two-factor authentication’. These tokens require drivers to be installed in order to recognize the token. Currently CeRTNA is supporting two different types of tokens, the SafeNet iKey 4000 token and the SafeNet 5100 eToken.

The current version of the Entrust SafeNet Authentication Client software can be downloaded from the following URL:

https://admin.certna.org/Downloads/SAC102.zip

This zip file is approximately 75 MB in size.

Important Note: If you currently have another version of the SafeNet Authentication Client installed you will need to use the Windows Control Panel to uninstall the older version, before installing an updated version of the SafeNet Authentication Client software.

To install the SafeNet Authentication Client 10.2 software make sure your token is NOT plugged in.

Unzip the SAC102.zip file to a working directory, for example C:\SAC102_Setup or a name of your choosing.

To use the CeRTNA APEX application for submitting or retrieving transactions customers must complete a fingerprint/background check. Once this process is complete and the approval paperwork has been provided to CeRTNA staff a SafeNet token will be mailed to you. The token will contain your DigiCert PKI certificate, which is used for digital signing and encryption/decryption functionality.

After you receive your SafeNet token, insert the token into an available USB port on your system. The token will be automatically recognized and linked to the SafeNet driver.

Once the device driver is successfully linked to your SafeNet token, the 'S' icon will appear illuminated as shown in the picture below:
