Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You protect certification authority (CA) certificates by using a hardware security module (HSM) that uses a key storage provider (KSP) on a Windows Server 2008 R2-based or Windows Server 2012-based computer.

  • The keys that are created by the KSP in the CA certificates use personal identification number (PIN)-based smart card authentication or use multiple smart card authentication.

  • You type the correct PIN code in the PIN dialog box to access the certificates, and then you press ENTER.

In this scenario, a second PIN dialog box appears.
