Infineon Security Platform Solution - Quick Initialization Wizard

Infineon Security Platform Quick Initialization Wizard

The Infineon Security Platform Quick Initialization Wizard is intended for most users to quickly initialize the Security Platform and User with default settings. These operations are needed to enable the Infineon Security Platform functionality and provide the basis for all further activities on the Infineon Security Platform.
If you want to initialize your Security Platform and User with advanced settings, you are recommended to use Security Platform Initialization Wizard and Security Platform User Initialization Wizard instead.

Availability of wizard:
  • This wizard requires administrative rights, as long as the Security Platform is not yet initialized.
  • If the Security Platform is already initialized, the wizard will only perform user-specific configuration tasks, which does not require administrative rights.
  • The usage of this wizard can be controlled with the policy Control Quick Initialization.
  • The platform initialization steps of this wizard are only available, if the policy Allow Platform Enrollment is enabled with the option Allow Management provider and wizard, or if this policy is not configured (same conditions apply if you start this wizard from the Taskbar Notification Icon). Note this policy is only in effect if the Security Platform is not initialized before.
  • The user initialization steps of this wizard are only available, if the policy Allow User Enrollment is enabled with the option Allow Management provider and wizard, or if this policy is not configured (same conditions apply if you start this wizard from the Taskbar Notification Icon). Note this policy is only in effect for users who are not yet initialized.
  • The platform initialization steps of this wizard are not available in server mode as the Security Platform gets automatically initialized if the client system is integrated into a Trust Domain with centralized management.
