5. First Time Configuration
5.1. Overview
Once a workstation has been connected to the IDENTIKEY Appliance, the next step is first-time configuration of the
IDENTIKEY Appliance using the Configuration Tool. All the instructions in this section need to be completed in the
Configuration Tool. First-time configuration involves:
n
completing the Configuration Wizard
n
completing the Licensing Wizard
n
installing the Support Certificate, and
n
(optionally) completing manual configurations
n
Configure IDENTIKEY Authentication Server
For information about using the IDENTIKEY Appliance Configuration Utility, refer to Section
ging in to the IDENTIKEY Appliance Configuration Tool
. The Configuration Wizard is launched when a new
IDENTIKEY Appliance Configuration Utility is accessed. The wizard guides the system administrator through a min-
imal number of settings. During the Maintenance Wizard, the IP address of IDENTIKEY Appliance is changed to
within your network. You can then reset the IP address of the workstation you used to connect to IDENTIKEY Appli-
ance (unless you used the Rescue Tool). Following completion of the Configuration Wizard, and using the newly
configured IP address of the IDENTIKEY Appliance, Licensing is necessary before services become available.
Licensing is the process of identifying an issued IDENTIKEY Appliance to the VASCO Service Center for the issue of a
license key to make the appliance fully operational. After installation, and before Licensing, the IDENTIKEY Appli-
ance Configuration Utility is accessible for configuration and management, but the IDENTIKEY Authentication
Server Administration Web Interface and other services will not be available. The Licensing procedure is supported
by a Licensing Wizard, which is accessible through the IDENTIKEY Appliance Configuration Utility. This wizard
guides the system administrator through a minimal number of settings (see
).
For more information about licensing, refer to the
IDENTIKEY Appliance Product Guide
, Section "Licensing".
The IDENTIKEY Authentication Server Setup will then walk you through the configuration of a master domain, along
with an administrator login for this domain. This process will also allow you to easily enable and configure HSM
and secure auditing. After completing the IDENTIKEY Authentication Server Setup , the Administration Web Inter-
face and other services will be available.
Manual configuration in the Configuration Tool is only possible after completion of the Configuration Wizard. For
more information about manual configuration, refer to the
IDENTIKEY Appliance Administrator Guide
.
Warning
Licensing requires access to the VASCO Customer Portal (
). However, it is not necessary for
the IDENTIKEY Appliance to have Internet connection, as the required files can be downloaded to another com-
puter and transferred to the IDENTIKEY Appliance.
