Step 1. Check Which Subsystem is Installed in the Instance

Log in to the CMS window for the CMS instance you installed, and check the
navigation tree to see which subsystem is installed in that instance. To log in to the
CMS window, see "Logging In to the CMS Window" on page 333.

Step 2. Check the Port Numbers

Check the port numbers assigned for administration, agent, and end-entity
operations. Make the appropriate modifications, if necessary. For instructions, see
"Configuring Port Numbers" on page 362.

Step 3. Verify Key Pair and Certificates

When you install a CMS instance, the server prompts you to create the certificates
required for the subsystem. You should check the certificates used by each
subsystem and determine whether you need to get additional certificates, use
hardware tokens, and so on.
• Each subsystem in an instance has a set of certificates that it uses for specific
purposes. Understand how and when the subsystem uses its certificates. For
details, see "Keys and Certificates for the Main Subsystems" on page 420.
• Determine if you want to generate any new certificates. For details, see
"Getting New Certificates for the Subsystems" on page 465.
• Determine if you want to use hardware tokens for generating and storing these
certificates. If required, install new hardware tokens. For details, see "Tokens
for Storing CMS Keys and Certificates" on page 431.
• Determine if you want to renew any of the existing certificates. For example, if
you have issued certificates with very short validity periods, you might want
to renew them. For details, see "Renewing Certificates for the Subsystems" on
page 474.
• Check the certificate database to see which CA certificates are trusted. Delete
any unwanted CA certificates, change the trust settings of CA certificates that
you don't want to trust to untrusted, and install any new CA certificate or
certificate chains. For details, see "Managing the Certificate Database" on
page 481.

Step 4. Set up Privileged Users

Set up required administrators and agents. This way you can delegate
administration and agent tasks to other individuals. For details, see "Setting Up
Privileged Users" on page 388.
