What is meant by the phrase “registering a smartcard”?
With WinSig, CEFMS must know the IP address of the PC that a user is using to access CEFMS. To provide that information to CEFMS, a user must register their smartcard before accessing CEFMS. Registering a smartcard is accomplished by simply inserting your smartcard into the smartcard reader attached to the PC that you will use to access CEFMS. Nothing will prompt you to do this. When the smartcard is inserted into the card reader a window will appear announcing that the smartcard is being registered. If this is the first time that you have registered your card another window will pop up asking that you enter your UNIX logon ID. It is important that you enter the ID correctly. Your UNIX logon ID is is also what you may have heard called your “CEAP ID” and is in the form of “u4rmfsrk”. Once the ID has been entered, both windows will close in a second or two. When the registration windows have closed, your card has been registered. You are now ready to use CEFMS.
