The Firefox browser may need to be configured to use the eToken as a certificate store. ‘May’ because the SAC client installation is supposed to detect the presence of Firefox and carry out the configuration. But, in practice, that may not happen. The following simple instructions describe how to manually configure Firefox for Windows, MacOSX and Linux.

Prerequisites:

  1. Possession of eToken with UTORauth-issued certificate and a current version of the SafeNet Authentication Client (SAC) installed.

  • Select ‘Load’ button. Enter ‘eToken’ in the Module Name field.
  • Module filename:  c:\windows\system32\etpkcs11.dll -> OK button.

Configuring Firefox/MacOSX

  • Navigate to Preferences(from top right drop down list) -> Privacy & Security(left column) -> (scroll down to bottom)Security Devices
