> ## Configuring Authentication on the Host

> You set up authentication on the host so that it can deny access to anyone who does not have the corresponding authentication mechanisms on the smart card. The host authentication mechanisms are the default mechanisms by the OCF server during smart card login.

> If the user tries to access a client application with a different authentication sequence set, the client authentication mechanisms are used by the OCF server during login.

> #### To Activate Authentication Services

> 1. Select Authentication from the Navigation pane, if you have not done this already.

>    The Console pane displays icons representing the three types of authentication services supported by Solaris Smart Cards. All authentication mechanisms are active until you deactivate them

> 2. Activate (or deactivate) an authentication mechanism by double-clicking its icon to display the Configure Authentication Services Dialog Box.
> 3. Press Help at any time to view help for the Configure Authentication Services Dialog Box.
