You have to fill in the necessary values in the configuration files of each service at the system deployment stage. Configuration files of all system services reside in the root folder of IIS web applications (default path is %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot).

Info

Card Monitor service configuration files are located in %ProgramFiles%\Indeed CM\CardMonitor.

Setup of configuration files is carried out using Indeed CM Setup Wizard. The latter runs automatically upon completion of Indeed CM Server Installation Wizard, if the corresponding checkbox is activated.
However, you also can run the Wizard manually at any time (Start - All Programs – Indeed Identity – Indeed CM).

    User catalog

    • Active Directory
    • Tracked attributes

    Definition of the system user catalog.

    of access control parameters for Indeed CM services and account to configure user Roles

    an account to initially configure user privileges in the Roles section of Indeed CM Management Console.

    Warning

    The specified account must have a User Principal Name (UPN) and be included in the specified user catalog of the system.


    Database

    • Active Directory
    • Microsoft SQL
    • Encryption key

    Definition of system data storage and encryption algorithm.
    Creation of encryption key or backup copy or recovery of key from backup.

    Parameters of connection to the storage are defined according to the selected type.

    Card Monitor service

    The Card Monitor service is intended for control of smart card usage. The service performs:

      • Revocation of removed users’ cardsRevocation of expired temporary cards
      • Disabling of cards for the user, whose Active Directory account is disabled
      • Deactivation (optional) of devices and revocation of certificates for the users whose Active Directory accounts have been disabled
      • Removing accounts (optional) from the Indeed CM user catalog whose Active Directory accounts have been disabled
      • Revocation and withdrawal (optional) of devices of users whose accounts have been removed from the Indeed CM user catalog
      • Setting/resetting a device card content status (about to expire/expired)
      • Update of device card contents
    Info

    If the device card was updated through the Agent Indeed CM without automatic approval of certificates by the CA operator.

      • Event registration There is no connection from the agent for a long time in the system log

      • Sending of the following email notifications to the system administrators and users:
        – Expiration of user certificates stored on user card– User certificate expiration
        – Card issuance approval/rejection
        – Approval – Approval or rejection of renewal for certificates on card
        – Card replacement approval/rejection
        – Change of policy applied to user
        – Approval or rejection of card replacement
        – Change of Indeed CM policy applying to user
        – Changing user attributes in the user directory 

        Warning

        To perform tasks for the regular launch of the Card Monitor service, the account specified in the setup wizard must be in the Administrators group on the Indeed CM server and have permission to Log on as a batch job.

      • .


    For the Card Monitor service to work correctly, create a service role (say, Card Monitor service) in Roles section, include an account in it, on behalf of which Card Monitor will work with and define the flowing privileges for named role:

    • Disabling card
    • Updating card
    • Revoking card
    • Clearing card
    • Unassigning card
    • Removing card

    • Removing AirKey

      Note

      If integration with AirKey Enterprise is configured, then set privileges for working with these virtual smart cards.


    Confirmation

    This contains combined information on settings of all Wizard sections, as well as an opportunity to create a backup copy of Indeed CM configuration.

    Results

    This displays the Wizard progress in writing the defined values to configuration files of Indeed CM services.

    When installed Indeed CM Server for the first time, set up the required parameters and make a backup copy of those (option Backup current configuration settings in the Confirmation section).

    The backup copy of Indeed CM settings contains all the parameters defined for all services during installation, as well as encryption key and algorithm. To use the backup to deploy new Indeed CM servers, specify it in the Restore configuration section of Setup Wizard.

    Warning

    The backup also contains the data of service accounts (the one for user directory and for data storage), encryption key and algorithm. Be sure to store the backup copy file in a safe place.

    After the Setup Wizard is complete, the defined values of all parameters are written to the configuration files of all applications and encrypted. Encryption is performed using the Microsoft .NET (NetFramework ConfigurationKey) key. Encryption algorithm is RSA.
