Infineon Security Platform Solution - Settings Tool

This page provides all tasks to set up and perform the resetting of Basic User Passwords.

Availability of page:

In stand-alone mode, this page is only available on an initialized Security Platform.

Buttons:

Buttons for administrative tasks are disabled for users without administrative rights.
Buttons are disabled, if corresponding functions are not available in a certain Security Platform state: E.g. if Password Reset has not yet been configured by the administrator, then it can neither be enabled nor can the Password Reset be performed.
In server mode the Trusted Computing Management Server handles the task of creating a Password Reset Token for all users, preparing and providing the Password Reset Authorization Code for specific user, i.e. the administrator or the user does not have to perform this task. Hence all buttons except Reset and Enable are disabled.

The following table describes all Password Reset functions.

Button	Explanation
Configure...	Click here to create a Password Reset Token for all users. This requires administrative rights.
Enable...	Click here to enable Password Reset for the current user. This is only possible, if Password Reset has been configured before by an administrator.
Prepare...	Click here to prepare and provide the Password Reset Authorization Code for a specific user. You can also prepare and reset for your own account in one step. Both options require administrative rights.
Reset...	Click here to reset the Basic User Password for the current user account. This is only possible, if Password Reset has been prepared for the current user account.
