IBM token initialization on Windows operating systems

To initialize the IBM 4758 card on Windows operating systems, you will need the PKCS11 software.

The PKCS11 software is available at http://www.ibm.com/security/cryptocards/.

We can use the TOKUTIL.EXE utility that installs with the PKCS11 software to initialize our card on Windows operating systems.

Refer to Chapter 5: Token Initialization from the PKCS11 documentation for more details (ftp://www6.software.ibm.com/software/cryptocards/PKCS11_INSTALL_241_Manual.pdf).

Ensure we have the cryptoki.dll module in our path.
