   Note

   If port 80 is used, then you do not need to include it in the URL.

   A Select a certificate dialog box appears.

3. Select the certificate that matches with your smart card.

4. Enter your smart card PIN.

   Note

   This step is required only if you are accessing the Web Console in a non-LDAP environment.
