Using the Management Console

To access the Management Console, click Start → Programs → HID Global →SerVE Management Console.

The Management Console includes the following configuration tabs, each of which covers a specific area of Validation Extension operation:

  • General – enable or disable the Validation Extension, register or unregister the CAPI plugin, configure logging, and display information about the SerVE Validation Extension for Microsoft Internet Information Server.

  • OCSP – configure OCSP request parameters, how OCSP responders are determined, OCSP response acceptance parameters, and OCSP response caching and buffering parameters.

  • CAPI – list the applications that will have their CAPI requests serviced by the Validation Extension.

  • CRL Cache – specify the location of CRLs that will be downloaded and used to verify certificate revocation status.

  • Network – configure network settings including proxy settings and the network timeout.

  • Support – provides instructions to follow in the event of a problem.

Each tab includes the following buttons:

Apply – saves configuration changes without exiting the Management Console.

OK – saves configuration changes and exits the Management Console.

Cancel – exits the Management Console without saving any changes.    

Help – displays this Administration Guide.

Create Installer – saves the configuration in an Installer Customization or a Settings Installer that can be deployed to other computers. Refer to Chapter Deploying the Extension for more information.

Note: Except where noted in the Management Console, changes do not take effect until you click the either the Apply or the OK buttons

To ensure that all of your changes are saved, apply all the changes you need to make on each tab, and click OK after you have completed the configuration.
