In the process to set up smart card authentication, you must associate a distinguished name with the administrator user account. The administrator user account bypasses all access rights checks, and is used only when absolutely necessary.
For example, you might use the administrator user account if no other users can log in, or if other users cannot access part of the database. When you are using smart cards and certificates, you must associate a distinguished name (DN) with the administrator user account to allow the administrator user to access to the database.
