Cannot recover a PIN of Certificate pfx entry

Cannot recover a PIN of Certificate pfx entry

avatar

I have a vault with some certificate entries.
I have added the certificate file and to save the keystore passphrase I used the Smart Card PIN field.
Now I cannot get back the PIN, neither using clipboard function nor editing the entry.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this issue you're having.

Could you please clarify one thing? What do you mean by "save the keystore passphrase"?

Best regards,

From the RDM application, the Certificate entry has the setion to load the pfx file on top and on the bottom has SmartCard PIN section. I used this section to save the pfx passphrase.
May be I did a mistake bus I could'nt find any other option to keep them together in one place.

Thanks for clarifying!

Just to be sure, are you storing the certificate file in RDM or linking to it?

The PIN is specifically for the case where you will use the certificate as a smartcard logon certificate for RDP. It’s the PIN for the smart card reader.

If you are storing it, you should not try to manage the password for the internally stored certificate in RDM, the application does it.

Best regards,
