Any Issues?
If you are experiencing any of the below issues with the SafeNet Driver, please refer to the workaround section:
- The token is not being recognised.
- Token not present in Adobe.
Workaround:
- Within your Adobe Acrobat Pro DC application.
- Navigate to Preferences > Signatures > Identities & Trusted Certificates > More... >
- Select Digital IDs / PKCS#11 Modules and Tokens > Click Attach Module > Specify the patch of your PKCS#11 file ( /usr/local/lib/libetpkcs11.dylib )
- You will now see that your token is visible, as Adobe will be able to recognise this.
If you need any assistance with this workaround, please feel free to reach out to our Support Team. Additionally, we will be providing an update shortly, with the new release of MacOS SafeNet drivers.
