The YubiKey Personalization Tool offers a range of settings and configurations that enable users to create customized token seed files. This article will delve into the process of creating a token seed file using the YubiKey Personalization Tool, as well as how to import it on the STA Token Management console.

Step 1: Creating a Token Seed File

To begin with, open the YubiKey Personalization Tool and navigate to the 'Settings' section. In this area, you will find various options that allow you to customize your token seed file. The most important setting is the Output Format, which should be set to PSKC (Public Secure Key Container). This format ensures that the log configuration output is suitable for importing into STA.

Step 2: Defining Log Settings

The logging settings in the YubiKey Personalization Tool define how logs are generated and stored. You can customize these settings by selecting the desired log level, log rotation policy, and log file path. For example, you may want to set the log level to 'Debug' for detailed information or 'Error' for troubleshooting purposes.

Step 3: Creating a Token Seed File with OATH-HOTP

The YubiKey Personalization Tool also allows you to create token seed files using the OATH-HOTP algorithm. This is a standard algorithm for generating one-time passwords based on a secret (seed) value and programmed counter value.

To create a token seed file using OATH-HOTP, select the 'OATH-HOTP' option from the dropdown menu in the YubiKey Personalization Tool. Enter your desired seed value and programmed counter value to generate the token seed file.

Step 4: Importing the Token Seed File

Once you have created your token seed file, you can import it on the STA Token Management console. To do this, follow these steps:

* Open the STA Token Management console and navigate to the 'Tokens' section.

* Click on the 'Import Tokens' button and select the token seed file you created earlier.

* Follow the prompts to complete the import process.

In conclusion, creating a token seed file using the YubiKey Personalization Tool is a straightforward process. By following these steps, you can create customized token seed files that meet your specific needs. Remember to set the Output Format to PSKC and define your log settings before generating the token seed file. Additionally, ensure that you import the token seed file on the STA Token Management console using the correct format.
