Depending on your Linux distribution, you might need root privileges to use the program
"ironkey" found in the Linux folder of the mounted virtual DVD. If you have only one
Imation Personal device attached to the system, run the program from a command shell with
no arguments (e.g. ironkey). If you have multiple Imation Personal devices, you must specify
which one you want to unlock.
ironkey only unlocks the secure volume; it must then be mounted. Many modern
NOTE:
Linux distributions do this automatically; if not, run the mount program from the command line,
using the device name printed by ironkey.
To change the password of the device named "devicename," enter:
ironkey --changepwd [devicename]
To lock the device named "devicename," enter:
ironkey --lock [devicename]
To unlock the device in Read-Only Mode, enter:
ironkey --readonly
To unlock the device with the password "devicepassword," enter:
ironkey --password [devicepassword]
To lock the device, you must either unmount and physically remove (unplug) it, or
else run:
ironkey --lock
Simply unmounting the device does not automatically lock the secure volume.
Please note the following important details for using your device on Linux:
1. Kernel Version must be 2.6 or higher
If you compile your own kernel, you must include the following in it:
»
DeviceDrivers->SCSIDeviceSupport-><*>SCSICDROMSupport
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> Support for Host-side USB
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> USB device filesystem
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> UHCI HCD (most Intel and VIA) support
»
DeviceDrivers-><*> USB Mass Storage Support
The kernels that are included by default in most major distributions already have these features,
so if you are using the default kernel that comes with a supported distribution you do not need
to take any other action.
Also, on 64-bit linux systems the 32-bit libraries must be installed in order to run the ironkey
program. Consult the distribution's help resources for assistance and more information.
