How to Use Super Authorization in Backup Encryption Server | AnySecura Manual
This guide will show you how to use the Super Authorization feature in the AnySecura Backup Encryption Server, a crucial step for activating a backup server if the primary one becomes unavailable. You'll learn how to generate and submit the unique request needed for this process.
We'll then walk through applying the authorization file you receive and setting the verification code, ensuring your backup server is ready to accept connections from clients. This prepares your backup system to seamlessly take over, maintaining your security operations without interruption.
If the primary server fails before the backup server is fully deployed, use the Super Authorization feature on the backup server to submit a request.
Super Authorization is one-to-one: an approval granted for one backup server can only be used for that specific server and cannot be applied to another backup server.
If multiple backup servers need deployment, each server must generate its own request file and submit it separately.
27.8.1 Request Super Authorization
Steps:
- 1. Install and run the backup server.
- 2. Right-click the backup server tray icon, go to Tools → Advanced → Super Authorization to open the Super Authorization request dialog.
- 3. Enter the primary server's serial number in the dialog, click Create Request File, and send the generated request file to us via email.
27.8.2 Apply Super Authorization
After receiving your request file, we will generate a Super Authorization File and send it to you.
To apply it:
- Right-click the backup server tray icon, go to Tools → Advanced → Set Super Authorization.
- In the Super Authorization dialog, locate the file and click Set Super Authorization to import it.
- You can enter the primary server's verification code either during the import or after the file is successfully imported.
Once the Super Authorization File is imported, the backup server enters backup mode.
27.8.3 Set Verification Code
To ensure clients on the primary server can successfully connect to the backup server:
- Right-click the backup server tray icon, go to Tools → Advanced → Set Verification Code.
- In the dialog, enter the primary server's verification code.
Backup servers entering backup mode via a Super Authorization File do not need the primary server connection parameters but must enable the active polling feature.
