How to install the WiKID Strong Authentication Server - Enterprise Edition
Up one level
If you are using the WiKID RPMS, please install the RPMS first. If you are using the ISO or VMWare image, you will need only to configure networking and start the server. To configure networking, simply run:
wikidctl setupSelect that you want to change your network settings. The script will pick up your existing network settings, walk you through them and create an SSL cert for the server. Once done, start the server:
wikidctl start
The primary administration interface of the WiKID Strong Authentication Server is via an HTML 3.2 compliant browser. This allows the server to be managed effectively from a wide range of platforms and network topologies. It also provides a low-bandwidth interface for ease of management from remote locations.
From a network-connected system, enter the URL address:
http://servername.domain.com/WiKIDAdmin/
Substitute your hosts Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for . The WiKIDAdmin portion of the URL is case-sensitive. You should see a screen similar to that shown in Figure 1.

The main system status screen is shown upon successful login to the administration system as depicted in Figure 2. This screen provides summary information about the current stat of the system and the services it provides.

Each item is covered in greater detail later in this guide. In overview:
Registered Devices – This indicates the number of devices that are currently serviced by this server. These devices have completed the entire registration process and could successfully gain access to a secured resource.
Unregistered Devices – These devices have partially completed the setup process but have not completed the device to userid mapping. Unregistered devices are automatically purged from the system after 1 hour as specified in the RegCodeTTL paramater. This parameter can be changed in Configuration --> Set Parameters.
Served Domains – The number of distinct domains (server codes) configured for this server.
Network Clients – The number of systems that use this server for authentication. This includes both RADIUS systems and other protocols, such as wAuth.
Protocols Enabled – The number of protocol modules installed and activated on the server.
As we progress through this guide, we will periodically return to this status summary to note the changes in the values. This should provide a well founded understanding of the basic terms and concepts of the WiKID Authentication System. If you need additional background, please rewiew the architecture of the WiKID's two-factor system.
