Code signing hardware token.

I recently had my code signing certificate expire, and was forced to migrate a usb hardware token.
The hardware token was supplied by Sectigo, and they recommend using SafeNet.

Advanced Installer sees the hardware token as a certificate store..
And I have told Advanced Installer to use this certificate store.

But every time a do a build with Advanced Installer the SafeNet dialog pops up seven times
asking for the token's password.

Is there a way I can enter the tokens password into the install so that it doesn't ask at all for the password?
Or at least, is there some way to set up Advanced Installer so that it only ask the token's password once?

Re: Code signing hardware token.

Hello Terry,

Indeed, this is unfortunately a limitation when using USB tokens.

The above thread offers a solution on how to configure SafeNet to not ask for PIN many times.

Hope this helps!
