With this page you can configure all security relevant settings for the currently logged in Infineon Security Platform User.

Availability of page:

This page is only available on an initialized Security Platform.
On an Infineon Security Platform that has not been set up, a message box informs about the situation and the Quick Initialization Wizard can be started. In server mode a message is not shown as the Security Platform gets automatically initialized if the client system is integrated into a Trust Domain with centralized management.
For a user that has not been initialized, a message box informs about the situation and the Quick Initialization Wizard can be started. In server mode a message box informs about this situation only if the current user is a member of User Enrollment Group and the Quick Initialization Wizard can be started.
