You can configure a Federation™ host so that operators can monitor live events and generate reports for deister proxSafe entities.

Before you begin

  • Understand Federation™.
  • Deploy the plugin and integrate the deister proxSafe key management system with Security Center on each remote site.
  • Read the release notes to learn about known issues and limitations that affect the use of Federation™ for this plugin.

What you should know

Controlling the deister proxSafe entities from the Federation™ host is not supported.

Procedure

  1. Open Config Tool on the server that hosts Federation™.
  2. Add the deister proxSafe licenses (part numbers GSC-1P-KeyCabinetBase and GSC-1PProxSafeKey).
  3. Install the deister proxSafe plugin.
  4. Creating the deister proxSafe plugin role.
    Leave the role disconnected. Creating the plugin role adds the deister proxSafe entities to the host.
  5. Set up a Security Center Federation™.
    Create a Federation™ role for each remote site that hosts the deister proxSafe plugin role.
  6. Deactivate and then re-activate the Federation™ role.
    The deister proxSafe entities are displayed in the entity browser of the Federation™ host.
  7. Expand the Security Center Federation™ role on the Federation™ host and confirm that the entities are listed in the entity browser.
  8. If the entities are missing, restart the main server of the Federation™ host.
  9. (Optional) Delete the deister proxSafe plugin role that you created in step 4.
  10. In the Monitoring task, add the entities to the event monitoring list.
