Administration Tasks

After you first install Sentinel LDK in your organization, you can log in to Sentinel LDK-EMS using the default user name and password (admin) provided for your use by Thales. By default, an admin user is authorized to perform all tasks in Sentinel LDK-EMS, including Administration tasks.

NOTE   The ‘admin’ administrator details cannot be viewed or modified. Only the password can be changed.

After logging in to Sentinel LDK-EMS the first time, select the Change Password function at the top of the screen and change your user password as soon as possible.

To be able to use Sentinel LDK with your vendor-specific Batch Codes and license, you must first introduce one of the Vendor keys provided in your Starter Kit.

For additional information on Vendor keys, see Sentinel LDK Vendor Keys.

For additional information on managing a Master key, see Maintaining Your Sentinel LDK Master Key.

For additional information about the various modules in your Sentinel LDK Master license, see Understanding the Sentinel LDK Master License.

From time to time, you will need to renew your Sentinel LDK license, or to replenish your pools of SL keys or network seat licenses. You can schedule email notifications to be sent when it is time to renew or reorder, ensuring you uninterrupted use of Sentinel LDK.

For additional information about configuring and scheduling email notifications, refer to the Sentinel LDK–EMS User Guide.

NOTE   If you are evaluating Sentinel LDK-EMS installed on-premises, you can use the provided DEMOMA Batch Code, which does not require a Master key.

You can now define additional Sentinel LDK users in your organization, including assigning the users the appropriate roles and authorizing access to Batch Code. For additional information, see Maintaining User Details.
