Change the Instance Name

Based on the host on which the instance is running and the timestamp of the first startup, CA AuthMinder Server generates a unique name for each instance. This name is used in reports and is logged in audit logs. To enable easy identification of an instance, provide an appropriate name for each instance.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Services and Server Configurations tab in the main menu.
2. Verify that the CA Strong Authentication tab in the submenu is active.
3. Under the Instance Configurations section, click the Instance Management link to display the Instances page.
4. Click the required instance link in the Instance Name column.

   The Instance name: <selected_instance> page appears.

5. In the Instance Attributes section, enable the Change the Instance Name option.
6. Enter the new name in the New Instance Name field.
7. Click Save to save the changes.
8. Refresh the CA AuthMinder Server instance for which you made the preceding changes. See Refresh a Server Instance for instructions about the procedure.
