Security Confi guration
This menu option allows you to configure DSR switch authentication security.
When it is selected, you will be given two menu options: Reset Authentication
Tokens (certificates of server running DSAuth Server) and the connection
status of the server running DSAuth Server.
The DSR switch operates in one of two modes: All or Secure. In the default All
mode, the DSR1021 switch allows any server running the DSAuth Server to
initiate a session between the DSR switch and DSView software. In secure
mode, only one specific DSAuth Server is allowed to initiate this session; other
DSAuth Servers are locked out.
NOTE: In secure mode, the ability to select a backup DSAuth Server through the DSView
software is eliminated.
When a DSR1021 switch is added to the database with the DSAdmin
management application, the appropriate DSAuth Server certificate is added to
the DSR1021 switch automatically. If the DSAuth Server cannot contact the
DSR1021 switch to add the certificate, an error message is displayed and the
DSR1021 switch is not added to the database.
