Using the SafeNet Sentinel Admin Control Center
- Tim Sneddon (Unlicensed)
The SafeNet Sentinel Admin Control Center (ACC) provides a simple web interface for the query and management of both hardware and software Sentinel license keys. It is installed and enabled as part of the Sentinel HASP Software isntallation, described in the section Installing the Sentinel HASP Software. The following sections describe some of the common tasks associated with the SafeNet Sentinel ACC.
The SafeNet Sentinel ACC is not secure at installation. To ensure a secure installation, please follow the Post-Installation Tasks described in Installing the Sentinel HASP Software.
Connecting to the Admin Control Center
To connect to the SafeNet Sentinel ACC, use a web browser to connect to port 1947/tcp on the CHARON-SSP for Linux host system. If running a web browser on the CHARON-SSP for Linux host, use the URL http://localhost:1947 to connect to the Admin Control Center. The screenshot below shows the default splash page, shown immediately after connecting to the Admin Control Center.
Displaying Attached Licenses
From the Options menu on the left hand-side of the SafeNet Admin Control Center, click the Sentinel Keys item to display all attached keys and licenses. The screen shot below shows an attached Sentinel USH HASP hardware license key.
Applying V2C (Vendor to Customer) License Files
License keys received from Stromasys Orders Administration can be applied through the Safenet Sentinel ACC Update/Attach form. The screenshot below shows this form.
To load a license key using the SafeNet Sentinel ACC Update/Attach form, follow the instructions below.
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | Save the V2C (vendor to customer) files received from Stromasys Orders Administration. Depending on the license type, this may be one or two files:
Steps 2. and 3. must be performed for each of the license keys files, starting with the format key file. |
| 2. | Click the button labelled Browse.. or Choose File and select the license key file. |
| 3. | Click the button labelled Apply File. |
| 4. | After the license key has been successfully applied the SafeNet Sentinel ACC will respond with a message similar to the following:
If the license fails to apply, consult the section Troubleshooting License Key Errors. |
| 5. | If a second license key file was supplied, click the Update/Attach item from the left-hand Options menu and repeat from step 2. using the second file. |
It is not possible to generate a C2V (customer to vendor) file from the SafeNet Sentinel ACC. These must be generated with either the command line tools (see section Managing Licensing from the Command Line) or the CHARON-SSP Manager GUI (see section Managing Licenses with CHARON-SSP Manager).
