Lyve Token files
Lyve Token files provide authorization to access Lyve Mobile software and devices. You must have a
Lyve Token file to authorize:
•
Signing in to the Link web app
•
Lyve Mobile Arrays connected to Lyve Mobile Link
A Lyve Token file is created in Lyve Management Portal by the product administrator and provided to
the person who manages Link. It must include the specific Lyve Mobile Link and Lyve Mobile Arrays
applicable to the project.
Sign in to the Link web app
When you open the web app, select a token file to sign in. The web app lets you manage Lyve Mobile
Link and connected Lyve Mobile Arrays. You must select a token file each time you sign in.
Authorize Lyve Mobile Arrays connected to Link
Token files must be used to authorize Lyve Mobile Arrays connected to Link. There are four ways to
deliver a token file authorizing Lyve Mobile Arrays:
•
Include Lyve Mobile Arrays on Link's token file — The product administrator includes Lyve
Mobile Arrays on the same token file used to sign in to the Link web app.
Select a token file — Use the web app to select a token file. The token file must be selected each
•
time Link and/or Lyve Mobile Arrays are power cycled.
•
Import a token file — Import a token to the Link web app's settings page. The imported token
file automatically authorizes the applicable Lyve Mobile Arrays and publishes their shares to the
network. The token file must be specifically created with the option to import.
Connect USB storage containing a token file — Copy a token file to the root of a USB storage
•
device and connect it to one Link's USB ports. Link automatically finds the token file, unlocks Lyve
Mobile Arrays, and publishes their shares to the network.
See Notes on Lyve Token file delivery for more details.
Token on USB drive versus the Link web app
To avoid selecting or importing token files in the Link web app, you have the option to keep them on
the root level of a USB storage device. Connect the USB drive with one or more Lyve Token files to
one of Link's USB Type A ports and Link automatically authorizes the connected Lyve Mobile Arrays.
A USB storage device can provide an additional level of security for an administrator who wants
a physical "key" for data access. Lyve Mobile Arrays are immediately unauthorized when the USB
storage device with the token(s) is removed.
Note — Link's USB ports only support Lyve Token file access.
