Configuring External ETKMSs, To configure the batch file

Installation and Configuration

Changes to the local ETKMS configuration or EncrypTight software may necessitate changes to the batch file, as described in Table 9.

Table 9	Maintaining the start.bat file

Type of change		Action
Upgrade to a new version of EncrypTight		No action required.
Change the ETKMS LM name or IP address in		Modify the batch file variables to match the new
ETEMS		ETKMS configuration.
Permanently uninstall EncrypTight		Manually delete start.bat from the PC. It is not
		removed by the uninstall program.
Discontinue using a local ETKMS		Delete the start.bat file from the PC.

Prior to configuring the batch file do the following:

1Add a ETKMS LM in ETEMS (see “Adding a Local ETKMS” on page 44).

2Launch the local ETKMS (Tools > Launch ETKMS LM). Successfully launching the local ETKMS demonstrates that the IP address is configured correctly and that there are no conflicting services running on the management station.

After launching the local ETKMS, configure the batch file to start the ETKMS automatically.

To configure the batch file:

1Open the start.bat file in a text editor and modify the variables described in Table 10.

2Save the file and copy it to the \Programs\Startup folder for the management PC user. A typical path might be something like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\username.domainname\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\.

The next time that you log in to the management PC, the ETKMS software will start and open a command line window.
