Exporting DS-Client registration information
You can optionally export a DS-Client account’s registration information to a file for distribution to the customer. This allows your customer to browse for this file during DS-Client installation for easy entry of the registration information.
To export DS-Client registration information:
1. In the Customers tab, select the DS-Client account you want.
2. On the DS-Client menu, click Export Registration Info.
3. The Export DS-Client Registration Info dialog box appears. The information that will be exported to the .CRI file is displayed.
• DS-System Address: By default, the DS-System Address box is populated with all available private IP addresses used by the DS-System. Since the customer may have to connect via an external (public) IP address, this field can be changed. This can be done manually by clicking the [...] button beside the field.
– To make exporting of multiple .CRI files easier, you can add the
External IP Addr parameter to the DS-System configuration file (
dssys.cfg). If that value is set, the
DS-System Address box will be populated with those IP addresses. For more information see:
“Updating the DS-System configuration file parameters”.
• Export DS-Client Encryption Keys: If the DS-Client has forwarded its encryption keys, you have the option to include them in the .CRI file you generate. They will be in an encrypted format that can be used during the initial DS-Client configuration.
IMPORTANT: This means whoever has the .CRI file can recreate a functioning copy of that DS-Client installation.
4. To change the DS-System address, click the [...] button beside the field. The DS-System Connection Entry dialog box appears.
• Add, modify, or delete from the list of DS-System addresses, then click OK.
5. Click OK to save the file. Its content will look like this:
[RegistrationInfo]
UserName=COMPANY1
AccountName=COMPANY1
ClientNumber=DSCTEST00011
SystemAddress=10.10.70.102; Address_2; Address_3; Address_n
6. Distribute this file to the customer.
