Connecting to SecureTrack

SecureChange and SecureApp must be configured to integrate with SecureTrack. You can connect to a SecureTrack deployment that is enabled on the same server or installed on a remote server. In a SecureTrack distributed deployment you must connect to the central server.

To use SecureTrack on a remote server, both servers must have the same version of TOS. To confirm this, on each server run: st version and scw version. The information must be the same on both servers.

Prerequisites

  1. Create a dedicated SecureTrack administrator user that SecureChange and SecureApp will use to get SecureTrack information.

    If you have configured multi-domain management, make this user either a super administrator or multi-domain administrator, depending on whether you want to restrict the administrator to selected domains.

  2. Log into SecureTrack as the new administrator user you created in the previous step and change the password.

Configure the dedicated user that SecureChange and SecureApp can use to connect to SecureTrack

  1. In SecureChange and SecureApp, select Settings > General  > SecureTrack:

  2. Enter the SecureTrack account credentials:

    • If you are using SecureTrack on the same server with SecureChange and SecureApp:

    • If SecureChange and SecureApp are on a remote server:
