as the Admin
To log on to the CryptoServer Simulator as the admin you can use the default
keyfile that’s pre-installed in the Simulator (for details of keyfiles please look at
‘CryptoServer_Manual_Systemadminstrator.pdf; Chapter 2.2.3’).
For security reasons you should replace the default admin keyfile settings
with your own generated keyfile. To learn more about the key
material please consult the document ‘CryptoServer_Manual_Systemadminstrator.
pdf’. You find this file in your install directory, in the
subfolder ‘Documentation/Administration Guides/’.
Follow these steps (see also figure A.5):
1. In the CAT click on ‘Log In/Log Off’.
2. Select the user ‘admin’.
3. Click on ‘Log In’.
4. Select ‘Keyfile’.
5. Select path (the standard path to the Administration is set as default).
6. Select the file ‘ADMIN.key’.
7. Click on ‘Open’. (You don’t need a password.)
8. Click ‘OK’.
After you’ve finished these steps, your CryptoServer Simulator will be running
successfully. You can find detailed information on the full range of setup and
configuration options, as well as information about possible integration scenarios,
in the documentation directory of the SecurityServer directory on your computer.
