Configuring authentication
When you click Set Credentials in the dialog box for log consolidation settings, the console opens a dialog box to view, set or change parameters of authentication between the remote server and central collection server:
•Certificate name - The public key of the DeviceLock certificate (see
DeviceLock Certificates) for central collection server authentication. The private key of that certificate must be installed on the central collection server by using the “DeviceLock certificate” parameter in
Server Options.
The public key can be supplied in the dialog box that appears when you click the
button next to the
Certificate name field. The
Remove button allows you to delete the public key from the remote server.
Supplying the public key is not required if any of the following conditions is met:
•The Windows service “DeviceLock Enterprise Server” on the central collection server is running under an account with DeviceLock Enterprise Server administrator rights on the remote server.
•The private key of the same certificate is installed on both the central collection server and remote server by using the “DeviceLock certificate” parameter in
Server Options.
