Re: [Ejbca-develop] Authentication code of auto-generated soft Crypto Tokens

[Tomas G. <to...@pr...>]

Hi Benno,

The typical work-flow if you want to have control of your crypt tokens
(key ceremony, using an HSM etc etc) is to create the crypto token first
and then the CA. So this is the approach that I suggest.

Regards,
Tomas
