Installing a linked DES

To install a linked DES, proceed as described in the chapter Installing the server. In this case, however, select the Linked DES option.

After you have completed the initial installation, the DriveLock Server Setup Wizard starts automatically. After the welcome dialog, select the SSL/TLS certificate from the computer's certificate store in the following dialog. Click here for more information.

In the next dialog, select the role of the DES. There are two options here.

For DriveLock On-Premise:

  1. Select the option Linked DriveLock Enterprise Service.

  2. Enter the registration data in the next step.

  3. Enter the address of the central DES and a DOC account that has the right Register linked DES.

  4. Click Connection test to check the connection to the central DES.

  5. In the next step, enter the connection data. To do so, the central DES address must be specified with the port. In the list of tenants, you will only see the tenants you are authorized for. You can then select the corresponding tenant. Click Register server to complete the process.

In cloud environments:

  1. The Linked DriveLock Enterprise Service to connect to the cloud option is used if you are working with the DriveLock Managed Service solution and have agents that do not have a direct internet connection. In this case, the connection to the DriveLock Cloud can be established via the linked DES as an intermediary.

  2. To connect to the cloud, you need a registration API key. You can generate it in the DriveLock Operations Center (DOC) by selecting Settings -> APIs and then creating the key.

  3. In the next dialog, copy the API key into the text field.

  4. Click Register server.

Please note that multi-factor authentication must not be activated during registration!
