Overview

During SMD commissioning, we need to login to HPOS and publish the site ELS Entries. To do this you will need the Individual PKI Key of the OMO (Organisation Maintenance Officer).

The Medicare issued Individual PKI Token token requires the Safesign drivers to be installed for the token to be used to access HPOS. The Safesign drivers also offer additional features. This guide will focus around using the PUK (the original password issued by Medicare for the token) to change the current password and will also go through the process of resetting/changing the PUK using the original PUK (password) issued by Medicare.

The Safesign application can be accessed by clicking Start Menu, All Programs, SafeSign Standard and selecting Token ManagementAdministration.

Once the Token Management has been opened it will display any PKI tokens currently inserted in the machine. This screen will display the name of the PKI Token token (usually the RO, OMO or doctors name) and its current state (operational or locked).

To change the password of a PKI Token token the site will need to use their original PUK code, they would have received from Medicare.

Right click on the token name, and select Change PIN from the menu.
