Specify the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Server Used for User Authentication

In addition to user authentication, you must define the name and port number of the security server to enable the use of site keys for the encryption of sensitive data stored in EnterpriseOne configuration (ini) files. If site keys are set up in the Security Server jde.ini file, when sensitive data such as a password is entered in a server configuration setting in Server Manager, Server Manager accesses the site keys to encrypt the data. The Server Manager agent will return the site key to the Server Manager Console even if the Security Server is not running. See "Encrypting Sensitive Data in EnterpriseOne" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Tools Security Administration Guide for more information on how to generate site keys.

Important: All servers managed by an instance of Server Manager must use the same site key. For example, to have a production environment with servers that use one site key and a test environment with servers that use a different site key, you would need to install two separate Management Consoles, one for all servers in the production environment and one for all servers in the test environment.The configured Security Server must be a managed instance in the Server Management Console. Previously, the Security Server could have been managed by a different Server Manager Console.

  1. In the Quick Links section of the Management Console, click the Server Manager Users link.

    This image is described in surrounding text.

  2. In the Server Manager User Authentication pane, in the Server Name field, enter the name of the Enterprise Server to use for security services. The server must be running and listening on the same JDENET port that this instance is configured to use for outgoing connections.

  3. In the Outgoing JDENET Port field, enter the TCP port to use for outgoing JDENET communications with a JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Enterprise Server. This value must match the JDENET Incoming Port (ServiceNameListen) defined for the Enterprise Server(s) with which this web server will communicate.

  4. Click the Save button.

    Note: It may be necessary to restart the management console application for the new settings to take effect.
