tions and lock the device. It is then safe to unplug it
from your computer.
NOTE: In IronKey Enterprise, you may not be allowed
to change the device password or unlock your IronKey
on a Mac, depending on your System Administrator’s
configuration.
USINg THE IRONKEY UNLOCKER ON LINUX
IronKey has extended its core platform compatibility to include Linux systems. If enabled, you
can manage your secure files on Linux (2.6+), allowing you to securely transfer files from and
between Windows and Linux computers.
Depending on your Linux distribution, you may need root privileges to use the program ‘iron-
key’ found in the Linux folder of the mounted virtual CD-ROM. If you have only one IronKey
attached to the system, simply run the program from a command shell with no arguments (e.g.
“ironkey”). If you have multiple IronKeys, you will have to specify the device name of the one
you wish to unlock.
Note that ‘ironkey’ only unlocks the secure volume; it must then be mounted. Many modern
Linux distributions will do this automatically; if not, run the mount program from the command
line, using the device name printed by ‘ironkey’.
‘ironkey’ may also be used to lock the device. Use:
ironkey --lock [devicename]
to lock the IronKey named “devicename”, and:
ironkey --read-only
to unlock the IronKey in Read-Only Mode.
Note that simply unmounting the device will not automatically lock the secure volume. To lock
the device you will have to either unmount and physically remove (unplug) it, or else run:
ironkey --lock
