SecurityExpressions Console Credential Stores

When you create a Credential Store in the SecurityExpressions Console, you create a container that securely saves all of your machine list and host (target system) credentials in the database. After you create the credential store, you can delegate the credentials to the Audit & Compliance Server. This allows users belonging to certain Windows Groups to perform operations using the delegated credentials without knowing or seeing the credentials.

Software Registration

The Software Registration options on the Application Setup page let you register the software for use. You must enter a valid license key in order to activate the server application. If you purchased the Audit-on-Connect component, you must activate that feature with a second license key.

To register the software:

1.In the SecurityExpressions Audit and Compliance Server License Key box, enter the license key for general use of the application.

2.If you purchased Audit-on-Connect, in the SecurityExpressions Audit-on-Connect License Key box, enter the license key for that component.

3.Click Apply.

Site Preferences

The Site Preference options on the Application Setup page let you select general settings for the application. Click Apply after changing these settings.
