# oct-admin-touch(1)

Set the card's touch policy (if supported)

## NAME

oct-admin-touch - Set the card's touch policy (if supported)

## SYNOPSIS

**oct admin touch** \<**-k**\|**--key**\> \<**-p**\|**--policy**\> \[**-h**\|**--help**\]

## DESCRIPTION

Set the card's touch policy (if supported)

A touch policy defines if cryptographic operations on the card require user interaction with the card, for example by touching a button on the card.

Only some cards support this feature at all, not all cards support all policies.

Caution: Setting the ATT slot to Fixed or Cached-Fixed is permanent. Even a factory reset does not undo this setting.
