Double certificates
If you access the HVD using the Smartcard and the Yubikey, when using some apps you may be prompted with multiple certificates.
That's because each device (smartcard et Yubikey) have is own certificate (both valide).
The issue is to select the one that correspond to the right device.
One way is to identify the certificate by their date, example:
-
you received the smartcard before the Yubikey,
- the smartcard certificate is older than the Yubikey
- so if using the Yubikey, click on the youngest certificate.
-
you received/renewed the smartcard after the Yubikey,
- the smartcard certificate is newer than the Yubikey
- so if using the Yubikey, click on the oldest certificate.
