System administration is mainly done on the system console connected to the StoredSafe appliance, it is possible to enable remote login over SSH, but for security reasons it’s use is discouraged unless absolutely necessary, such as when a HA pair is geographically dispersed.
Conventions used
Press Q to exit from one menu to another. If you press Q from the top level menu Main, you will be logged out from the Console.
Any prompts with text contained between angle brackets, such as Confirm
(y/<N>)?, will indicate the standard answer if just a return is entered.
Logon to the System Console
Logon to the system console as the user storedsafe, the initial
password is changeme.
StoredSafe recommends you change the default password to a strong password using the 2 supplied yubikeys for this purpose.
If the default password has been changed according to the StoredSafe
recommendations, you will have 2 yubikeys containing the password for
the storedsafe user. This is to make it possible to facilitate “Dual
Control”, since each yubikey contains one piece of the password needed
to authenticate as the storedsafe user. Typically one key is given to
the CIO and the other key to the CSO.
On the console, press return a couple of times until you see a login:
prompt. Enter storedsafe at the login prompt and at the Password:
prompt insert the first yubikey (marked Console login 1 and press the
button on the yubikey, remove the first yubikey and insert the second
yubikey marked Console login 2. The second key is programmed to emit a
32 character long password and finally transmit a return.
