Follow the steps below to configure Cryptographic Security Platform Database Appliance.

To configure Cryptographic Security Platform Database Appliance

  1. Open a web browser in the URL obtained when Running PKI DB Appliance.  

    Do not omit the "https" prefix of the URL.

  2. If prompted, add a security exception for the Cryptographic Security Platform Database Appliance IP address.

    Cryptographic Security Platform Database Appliance uses its own root certificate authority to issue its security certificate, so the certificate will not be recognized by the browser. 

  3. On the login page, enter secroot for both the username and password.
  4. Review the EULA (End-user License Agreement) and click I Agree to accept the license terms.
  5. On the welcome screen, click Continue as a Standalone Node.
  6. On the Change Password page, enter a new password for the secroot account and click Update Password.

  7. On the Configure E-Mail and Mail Server Settings page, specify your email settings. 

    Cryptographic Security Platform Database Appliance will use this address to send the Admin Key for the new node and system alerts. 

  8. Download the admin key and save it in a safe place for later use. 

    The PKI DB Appliance requires an administrator key to recover your system. If you do not have this key, you may lose your data.
