NetKey Manager is a GUI program
for monitoring and controlling the NKLS service process. NetKey
Manager can access the NKLS on the server remotely through the network. It
allows you to monitor the status and activity of the NKLS from any workstation,
such as uptime duration, current number of concurrent users, etc. In addition,
it also allows you to set the properties and control the NKLS from any
workstation. NetKey Manager has the same user
interface as the NKLS GUI. Please refer to the NKLS Graphical User Interface
for details.
NetKey Manager is provided with
full source code in C#, which is available in the following directory:
\EXAMPLES\NETKEYMANAGER
The full source code allows you to modify the user interface or
customize NetKey Manager as you want. The compiled
version is also available in the following directory:
\EXAMPLES\NETKEYMANAGER\BIN\RELEASE\NKMAN.EXE
To create a setup package for NetKey Manager,
please ensure to include the NetKey Manager program
file (NKMAN.EXE) and the following ElecKey system
files:
·
Ekc3220.dll
(in \Deploy\Win32App\KeyCheck\)
·
Ekc6420.dll
(in \Deploy\x64\KeyCheck\)
·
Nkag20.exe
(in \Deploy\Win32App\Network\)
·
Netkey.ini
(Network Key configuration file)
The above system files must be placed in the same directory as the NetKey Manager program file (NKMAN.EXE). Note that the user
must edit the Network Key configuration file (NETKEY.INI) with the proper
settings of the NKLS address and port number.
You must assign a username and password to the NKLS for authentication
before you can use NetKey Manager from a workstation
to logon and monitor the NKLS. You can do so through the NKLS user interface or
through the NKLS configuration file NKLS.INI, as the following example.
|
[Remote] |
|
User=Administrator |
|
Password=Administrator |
Note that, when running the NKLS with GUI, the default NKLS.INI file is
saved in the folder:
%APPDATA%\NETKEY40EK\NKLS.INI
When running the NKLS as a service, depending on the Windows version,
the default NKLS.INI is saved in one of the following folders:
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\APPLICATION DATA\NETKEY40EK\NKLS.INI, or
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\NETKEY40EK\NKLS.INI
To run NetKey Manager from a workstation,
please ensure that it has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed. To access the NKLS,
in the NetKey Manager user
interface, from the Server menu, select Login and enter the username and
password.
