SSH Sentinel Installation Notes

SSH Sentinel supports Microsoft Windows 95/98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. The SSH Sentinel software download site is at http://www.ssh.com/products/sentinel/beta/.

Start the SSH Sentinel setup program (Sentinel.exe) by double clicking the icon and follow instructions on the screen. The installation procedure is documented in the SSH Sentinel User Manual.

One thing you might get stuck with is when the setup program asks you about creating certificates. You should determine whether to enroll for a certificate from a certification authority or to create a self-signed certificate. However, once you have the Sentinel running on your computer you can return to creating certificates at any time, using the user interface.

So, if you are not sure what to choose, select creating a self-signed certificate in order to successfully complete the installation procedure.

The self-signed certificate is a valid authentication document in many circumstances.

If you later discover a need for a certificate granted by a certification authority, you can enroll for it with no extra trouble.

For basic installation a network or Internet connection is not necessary. However, to enroll for a certificate online as part of the installation, you naturally need the Internet connection. But, you can also create an offline certificate request, store it in a file and later send it to a certification authority by e-mail, for example. Or, you can choose to create a self-signed certificate during the installation and enroll for a certificate later, if necessary. Both methods of enrolling, the online

and offline, produce a similar request. The online is, of course, more convenient, because the request is sent automatically.
