For Authentication cards, the Card Details table shows all group names for which the
card is registered.
-
For system cards, the Card Details table shows all encryption engines for which the
card is registered by switch name and, for encryption blades, slot number.
-
For recovery cards, the Card Details table shows the group name, the card creation
date, and the position of the card in the set (for example, Card 1 of 3).
3. Select a smart card from the table, then do one of the following:
•
Click Delete to remove the smart card from the BNAManagement application database.

Cards table at a manageable size, but does not invalidate the smart card. The smart card
can still be used. You must deregister a smart card to invalidate its use.
NOTE
The Delete operation applies only to recovery cards.
