Create the PSI Store

The final step is to import your Location and, if you are using iKeys your Individual certificates, to a central repository. This repository, hereafter referred to as the PSI Store consists of a single file normally named as your HIC Location ID followed by .psi (e.g.GEN00001.psi). The PSI Store can be created anywhere on your hard drive, but for simplicity we recommend it be located in the HICOnline folder in your Genie folder.

Note that previous versions of HIC Online (versions 2.6 and below) held the certificate repository in a different format. This old format consisted of a folder called cryptostore and two files: certs.map and cryptostore. properties. These folders and files were normally located in the PKI folder within your Genie folder.

Login to Genie. Choose Maintenance & Reports from the File menu and go to the Administrator tab. Click the HIC Online PSI Store button.

There are two ways to create a PSI store:

1. Creating a New PSI Store from Scratch.

 Use this option if you have never used HIC Online before and you have the CD from Medicare Australia and any iKeys you wish to use.

2. Importing an Existing PSI Store

 Use this option if you have already created a PSI store and you wish to use it from HIC Online within Genie.

1.Creating a New PSI Store from Scratch

Insert the CD containing your location certificate.

Click the Blue Plus button to create a new PSI Store.

The Create PSI Store window will open.

If you are using more than one location certificate, you must select the HIC Location ID for which this PSI store will be used from the drop-down list at the top. Default names and locations for the certificate files will automatically be filled in. These should normally be correct but may be changed here if necessary.

Follow the red prompts at the bottom of the window to complete the fields on the form. Remember that passwords are case-sensitive. Location passphrase is also known as the PIC code.

Once all of the fields have been successfully filled in, the OK button will be enabled. If it is not enabled, rectify the problem identified by the red prompt at the bottom of the window.

Click the OK button to create the new PSI store.

If you are not using iKeys, you can close the PSI Store list window as you are now ready to use HIC Online. Otherwise, you now need to register the iKeys in the PSI store. Double-click the newly created PSI store in the list window.

Using each of your iKeys in turn, ensure that the iKey is plugged in to your computer and click the Register Token button. You will be prompted for your Individual Certificate passphrase which was supplied with each iKey by the Health eSignature Authority.

Enter the passphrase and click the OK button. Remember that the password is case-sensitive. You may change the passphrase after the configuration steps are complete to something more easy to remember by using the PassPhrase Utility (Start > Programs > Rainbow Technologies > iKey 2000 Series Software).

Once all iKeys have been registered, click the Save button, then close the PSI Store list screen.

2. Importing an Existing PSI Store

Click the PSI Store Import button.

The Import PSI Store window will open.

Follow the red prompts at the bottom of the screen to complete the form. Once all of the fields have been filled in correctly the OK button will be enabled. Click the OK button to complete the import process.
