Setting WS Security for DSR Server

IMPORTANT: It is recommended you use the security settings befitting the security risk of the facility and customer needs.

SETTING WS SECURITY DURING INSTALL

The WS Security option can be enabled or disabled during the DSR Server installation.

  1. Start the DSR Server Installer program.
  2. As you advance through the screens you must accept various settings and provide passwords as appropriate.
  3. In the appropriate installer screen, set WS Security option to the appropriate value ...
    1. set "True" (enabled) - if you are using encrypted connections between the SG Server and DSR Server. You must install the SSL Certificate appropriately if you are choosing this option.
    2. set "False" (disabled) if you are not using encryption for locks or if you are enabling it later in the DSR Support Tool. (It may not be recommended to disable encryption).
  4. NOTE: on the same screen, set the Auto-Confirm option to "False" (disabled). The auto-confirm allows a lock to be confirmed without human intervention when a lock connects. Setting this to false allows the SG-DSR Manager App to confirm the lock and import it into the SG Database.
