Note: ValidiKey 20 will only communicate with a server that has the gen 2 server components installed. Ensure the gen 2 components are installed by contacting the CyberAudit-Web server in a browser at this URL:

https://[server address or IP]/endpoint/services/test/

If properly set up, you will get a response in your browser showing component versions and settings.

A ValidiKey 20 is added to a CyberAudit-System in three steps:

  1. Enter the Serial number and network settings of the ValidiKey 20 into CyberAudit-Web
  2. Configure a USB Drive with the vault settings
  3. Insert the USB Drive into the ValidiKey to its settings so it will connect to the CyberAudit-Web server

From the Communicators menu, open the Validikey 20 list page. VK20ListSelect.png

In the Add new ValidiKey page,
  • Enter a name for the ValikiKey 20.
  • Enter the serial number of the ValidiKey 20 into the ID field.
  • Adjust the time zone of the ValidiKey 20 if it will differ from the Subsystem default.
  • Update network settings as appropriate. ValidiKey 20 is a web client and will attempt to reach CyberAudit-Web via a secure socket. Ensure that network settings are correct so that the ValidiKey 20 can reach CyberAudit-Web from the subnet where it will be installed.

You may remove the USB drive when the update completes. The ValidiKey will now attempt to connect to CyberAudit-Web. Use the Connection and Settings buttons in the Admin Functions to test and troubleshoot the connection.
