Terms and Definitions Used in LMS Installation Framework
While installing, you will come across these terms:
• LMS Admin Password
An administrative password used while logging into the LMS server as administrator. Use a
minimum of five characters.
Ensure that you have noted down the password.
You are prompted to enter this password in both Typical and Custom modes of installation.
• System Identity Account Password
Password that is used in a multi-server environment.
Communication among multiple LMS Servers is enabled by a “trust” model addressed by
certificates and shared secrets. System Identity setup helps you to create a “trust” user among
servers that are part of a multi-server setup. This user enables communication among servers that
are part of a domain.
You must configure all the LMS servers that are part of your multi-server setup with the same system
identity account password.
While entering the System Identity Account Passwords, use a minimum of five characters.
You are prompted to enter this password in both Typical and Custom modes of installation. To
change the System Identity Account password, select Admin > Trust Management > Multi
Server > System Identity Setup.
• LMS Guest Password
This is used while logging into the LMS server as a guest user. Use a minimum of five characters.
You are prompted to enter this password in the Custom mode of installation. In the Typical mode,
this password is randomly generated.
• Self Signed Certificate
LMS allows you to create security certificates to enable SSL communication between your client
browser and management server.
Self Signed Certificates are valid for five years from the date of creation. When the certificate
expires, the browser prompts you to install the certificate again from the server where you have
installed LMS.
For more information on Self Signed Certificates, see User Inputs for Custom Installation.
In the Typical mode, this certificate is automatically generated.
For more information on passwords, see Password Rules for New Installation
• SMTP Server
System-wide name of the SMTP server used by LMS 4.1 to deliver reports. The default server name
is localhost.
You are prompted to enter this server detail only in the Custom mode of installation. In the Typical
mode, after the installation you can configure SMTP by selecting Admin > System > System
Preferences from the LMS 4.1 UI.

the http port during the installation of LMS, if the port is in used state.
