Assigning the PCN role to a server

Assigning the PCN role to a server is irreversible. After changing the server role to PCN, you will not be able to change the role of that server to SCN or standalone server. To change the role of that server you will have to reinstall the program.

To assign the PCN role to a server:

1. Log in to the program web interface with the administrator account.

   You need to log in to the web interface of the server to which you want to assign the PCN role.

2. Select the Operation mode section.
3. Click Distributed solution.
4. In the Server role drop-down list, select Primary Central Node.
5. In the Company name field, enter the name of the organization to which this Central Node server belongs.
6. Click Assign the PCN role.

   This opens the action confirmation window.

   After confirming the action, log in to the program web interface again.

7. Click Yes.

The server is assigned the PCN role and the name of the organization.

After logging in to the program web interface with administrator credentials, the Operation mode section of the program web interface displays the following information:

• Current mode – Distributed solution.
• Server role – Primary Central Node.
• Certificate fingerprint – the fingerprint of the server's certificate required for authentication when establishing connection with an SCN.
• Companies – information about organizations to which this server belongs, and about connected SCN servers:
  • IP – Primary Central Node for this server and IP addresses of SCN servers (after they connect).
  • Server – name of this server and names of SCN servers (after they connect).

    This name is not related to name of the host where the program is installed. You can change it.

  • Certificate fingerprint – blank value for this server and certificate fingerprints of SCN servers (after they connect).
  • Status – connection state of SCN servers (after they connect) and the number of servers in the organization.
• The Servers pending authorization table contains information about connected SCN.
