Client Software Configuration
Installing ActivClient PKI Only
The Setup Deployment chapter of the Resource Kit provided by ActivIdentity discusses how to deploy
ActivClient using standard methods.
The ActivClient PKI Only 6.0 allows the user (based on privileges) or the Administrator to change and ver-
ify the PINs, view card and system information, and register certificates. HP does not support and has not
validated any ActivClient Enterprise class smart card provisioning solutions. For administrative smart card
provisioning, HP recommends that you contact ActivIdentity for a list of Enterprise class life cycle manage-
ment tools and access to their ActivClient Resource Kit to provide administrative management of client
smart card usage. Any client-based provisioning software installed may require write filter commit on the
HP thin client.
An illustration of Administration provisioning is initializing a card and having to keep track of the "unlock
code" manually or having to manually download certificates to the card. The remainder of this guide out-
lines installation of minimal client options, ActivDirectory management of certificates, and assumes the
Administrator manually tracks card unlock codes. For large scale rollout or deployment options, please
consult with ActivIdentity during your software purchase or consider the ActivClient to be managed by the
card user (a client-user based provisioned model would require normal setup.msi installation or modifica-
tion to the minimal installation parameters listed below for greater client-based card management con-
trol).
These identified services typically get installed with defaults provided with a standard ActivClient PKI
Only.msi installation:
•
Pin-initialization
•
Advanced Configuration Manager
•
Advanced Diagnostics
•
Digital Certificates Services (node)
•
Entrust Entelligence Desktop Solution Support
•
User Console
•
Troubleshooting
Installation of ActivClient PKI Only 6.0 requires changing the thin client RAMDisk size to 64MB as well as
changes to the Windows environmental variables on an thin client. These changes must be made from an
administrative privileged account.
NOTE: During the software installation, the reader should not contain a smart card.
NOTE: Close all open Windows programs and applications.
NOTE: You will be prompted to reboot after clicking Apply to the RamDisk size change. Commit (EWF)
data to the volume after completing the installation or changes will be lost on the next reboot.
NOTE: HP deployment solutions such as Altiris client manager do not require RAMDisk size adjustments
or modification of environmental variables.
