PAGE 12IRONKEY ENTERPRISE USER GUIDE
Please note the following important details for using your IronKey on Linux:
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 lesystem
» 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 will have to be installed in order to run the
ironkey program.
Make sure you have permissions to mount external SCSI & USB devices
» Some distributions do not mount automatically and require the following command to
be run:
mount /dev/<name of the device> /media/<name of the mounted
device>
» The name of the mounted device varies depending on the distribution. The names of
the IronKey devices can be discovered by running:
ironkey --show
You must have permissions to mount external/usb/ash devices
» You must have permissions to run executables off the IronKey CD-ROM in order to
launch the IronKey Unlocker
» You may need root user permissions
Not all distributions of Linux are supported. Please visit https://support.ironkey.com/linux for the
latest list of supported distributions.
NOTE: In IronKey Enterprise, you may not be allowed to change the device password or un-
lock your IronKey on a Mac, depending on your System Administrator’s conguration.
