Configuration Utility 

OneSpan Authentication Server uses a local XML text file to store various configuration settings. This configuration file can be administered using a graphical application referred to as OneSpan Authentication Server Configuration Utility.

Some settings within the OneSpan Authentication Server configuration file can also be changed via the Administration Web Interface.

To run Configuration Utility on Windows, navigate to:

Start > Programs > VASCO > IAS Configuration Utility

To run Configuration Utility on Linux, open a terminal window and run ikconfigutilgui.

You need root privileges to run the Configuration Utility application. Running the application without root privileges will fail with a "Permission denied" message.

Whenever you use the Configuration Utility application to change any settings, OneSpan Authentication Server needs to be restarted before the new settings take effect. The application will perform the restart when you exit.

The Configuration Utility controls the following setting groups:

  • General. Server location, RADIUS dictionary file path, and tracing settings.
  • Communicators. SOAP, RADIUS, and SEAL communication protocol settings, including SSL.
  • Scenarios. Available scenarios depending on your license options.
  • Engines. Defines your back-end authentication plug-in engines.
  • Storage. Add and configure additional ODBC databases.
  • Auditing. Configure audit methods.
  • Replication. Specify replication settings.
  • Server Discovery. Optional DNS service registration.
  • Performance. Configure performance monitoring filters and plug-ins.

For more information about these setting groups, refer to the OneSpan Authentication Server Administrator Reference, Section "OneSpan Authentication Server configuration settings".
