To configure connection settings, you must load a previously downloaded activation
file. This activation file is then used to connect your Security Center system to the Genetec ClearID™ web application.
What you should know
- To install or configure the plugin in Security Center, you must be a Site administrator. For
example, local security, system integrator, or Security Center administrator.
- An activation file is used to authenticate the communication
between your Security Center system and the
ClearID web application.
- For security purposes, the activation file can only be used once to register a
plugin. After the plugin is activated, the activation file can be deleted.
Procedure
-
From the Config Tool homepage,
open the Plugins task.
-
Select ClearID Integration from the
entity browser, and click the Properties tab.
-
Click Load activation file and select the activation
file that you previously downloaded.
-
(Optional) Configure the proxy server settings:
A proxy server is a server that verifies and forwards
incoming client requests to other servers for further communication. For example, when a
client is unable to meet the security authentication requirements of the server but
should be permitted access to some services.
- ON
- Specifies that a proxy server is required to access the Internet. This option is
typically used by customers behind a firewall or where network access to the Internet is
restricted.
- OFF
- Specifies that a proxy server is not required. This is the default.
- Proxy URL
- If Proxy is enabled, enter the proxy URL supplied by your organization. For example,
https://proxy:8080/outgoing. This information is typically
supplied by the network administration team.
-
(Optional) Configure the proxy authentication settings:
Proxy authentication is the process of validating
user credentials for access to a proxy server. This authentication typically includes a
username and can also include a password.
- ON
- Specifies that proxy authentication is required.
- OFF
- Specifies that proxy authentication is not required.
- Proxy username
- If proxy authentication ON was enabled, enter the proxy
username supplied by your organization.
-
If proxy authentication ON is specified, set a proxy
authentication password:

Enter a New Password and then confirm the
password.
NOTE:
Use industry best
practices for creating strong passwords.
