Requirements:
You need supervisor privileges for this action.
Connect the PROXESS smartcard reader to your computer via the USB interface.
You will need a prepared smartcard. You can learn how to prepare a smartcard in the chapter “Prepare PROXESS supervisor smartcard”.
Step by step:
Start the PROXESS Administrator Console and mark the node PROXESS Administrator (“server name”) in the console root.
In the “Action” menu, using the context menu or via the action panel on the right, select the menu item “Certificates” and select the command Create PROXESS supervisor certificate.
Select an output folder for the creation of the certificate files and a printer to print out your PROXESS supervisor certificate.
Confirm your entries with the Create command.
The following files are created in the selected output folder:
|
proxess-sv_Musterfirma_GmbH_SN0f4898a9.pfx |
Result file for the activation of the PROXESS supervisor certificate. |
|
proxess-sv_Musterfirma_GmbH_SN0f4898a9.dmp
|
File with individual smartcard data. This file is later sent to PROXESS GmbH and integrated into the individual customer license. This step is only required for the first PROXESS supervisor smartcard. |
Warning information

Select a secure output folder and a secure (local) printer to prevent unauthorized access. In case of unauthorized use of these documents, the PROXESS system might become insecure. Store the created PROXESS supervisor certificate and created files in a secure location. |
When the files are created, you will be prompted to enter your PIN. Note the display of your smartcard reader. (At delivery, the PIN is: 1234). You should subsequently change this standard PIN into an individual PIN in the program Gemalto Classic Client Toolbox in the “PIN management” menu (see “PIN management of PROXESS supervisor smartcards”).
Start via Start/Programs/the program Gemalto Classic Client Toolbox.
In the “Card contents” menu, choose the command Certificates.
In the option “Import/Import from File”, choose the Open command.

After a successful review, your certificate is offered in the selection list.
Select the certificate and start the import with the Import command. You will get a confirmation that the certificate was imported successfully.
