Key Server Config File - Add User for Security
Management Server Communication
1. Navigate to <Key Server install dir>.
2. Open Credant.KeyServer.exe.config with a text editor.
3. Go to <add key="user" value="superadmin" /> and change the "superadmin" value to the name of the appropriate user (you
may also leave as "superadmin").
The "superadmin" format can be any method that can authenticate to the Security Management Server. The SAM account
name, UPN, or DOMAIN\Username is acceptable. Any method that can authenticate to the Security Management Server is
acceptable because validation is required for that user account for authorization against Active Directory.
For example, in a multi-domain environment, only entering a SAM account name such as "jdoe" will likely fail because the
Security Management Server cannot authenticate "jdoe" because it cannot find "jdoe". In a multi-domain environment, the
UPN is recommended, although the DOMAIN\Username format is acceptable. In a single domain environment, the SAM
account name is acceptable.
4. Go to <add key="epw" value="<encrypted value of the password>" /> and change "epw" to "password". Then change
"<encrypted value of the password>" to the password of the user from Step 3. This password is re-encrypted when the
Security Management Server restarts.
If using "superadmin" in Step 3, and the superadmin password is not "changeit", it must be changed here. Save and close the
file.
