6.
Administrator. Type the user ID, name, and password for the CMS
administrator. This user ID will be set up as the administrator who can access
the CMS window and control all CMS settings.
Allow Multiple Roles for Users. Select if you want to allow users to belong to
more than one group, thus assuming more than one role. Deselect if you want
to restrict users from being able to belong to more than one role. This setting
only applies to the default administrator, agent, auditor, and trusted manager
roles.
If you select this, allowing users to assume multiple roles, the administrator
you set up in this window will be added to the agents group. This
administrator will be both an administrator and an agent.

Remote Data Recovery Manager. Select the appropriate options:
❍
Select No if you don’t want to connect the Certificate Manager to a remote
Data Recovery Manager.
❍
Select Yes if you have already installed a remote Data Recovery Manager
that you want the Certificate Manager to use for archiving end users’
encryption private keys. Then, enter the remote Data Recovery Manager’s
host name, agent SSL port number, and the Time-out in seconds in the
associated fields.
Click Next to continue.
9.
CA’s Serial Number Range. Specify the range for the serial numbers for the
certificates that this CA will issue. In the “Starting serial number” field, type
the lowest serial number the CA should assign to a certificate. If you plan to
only use one CA server, you can leave the “Ending serial number” field blank
to indicate no upper limit. If you plan to clone the CA to distribute load, you
must specify an upper limit. (For cloned CAs, you must make sure that the
range of serial numbers does not overlap with any other CA server.)
