Firewall Settings - Entrust nShield Connect Installation Manual

During the installation process, you are asked to choose which bundles and components
to install. Your choice depends on a number of considerations, including:
• The types of application that are to use the module
• The amount of disc space available for the installation
• Your company's policy on installing software. For example, although it may be
simpler to choose all software components, your company may have a policy of not
installing any software that is not required.
On Windows, the

Core Tools bundle
The Core Tools bundle contains all the Security World Software command-line utilities,
including:
• generatekey
• Low level utilities
• Test programs
The Core Tools bundle includes the Tcl run time component that installs a run-time Tcl
installation within the nCipher directories. This is used by the tools for creating the
Security World and by KeySafe. This does not affect any other installation of Tcl on your
computer.
You need to install the Remote Administration Service component if you require remote
administration functionality. See
User Guide for more about the Remote Administration Service.
Always install all the nShield components you need in a single
installation process to avoid subsequent issues should you wish to
uninstall. You should not, for example, install the Remote

Administration Service from the Security World installation media, then
later install the Remote Administration Client from the client installation
media.
Ensure that you have identified any optional components that you require before you
install the Security World Software. See
