Use the BeyondInsight Configuration Tool

After your initial configuration of BeyondInsight, you can modify settings and configure additional settings using the BeyondInsight Configuration Tool.

Setting	Description
Test Connection	Click to test the connection to the SQL Server database.
Create Database	Click to create a new database.
Upgrade Database	Click to upgrade your database.
Manage License	Use the License Manager to update your license or to transfer the license, removing it from the installation computer and moving it to another computer.
Certificate Management	Generate a certificate and export it to a preferred location. Certificates are used by the Events Client to ensure secure data transmission. The certificate password must be the same as the Central Policy password.
Install SSL Certificate	Create an SSL certificate to establish a secure connection to IIS. A certificate generated here is not certified by a trusted certificate authority. If you use this certificate, an invalid certificate message will be displayed to browsers connected to IIS. You can use SSL when creating Active Directory queries or creating Active Directory user groups in the console. For more information, please see the BeyondInsight User Guide.
Enable Debug Logging	Use this feature when troubleshooting with the BeyondTrust Support team.
Stop and Start Services	Click to start and stop the BeyondInsight services.
Generate Certificate msi	Create an MSI file that contains a client certificate. You can then set up a group policy with the MSI and deploy the certificate to your assets. Any system on which the MSI is to be executed needs to have the .NET Framework 4.7.2 prerequisite installed.
Generate Certificate Zip	Used with Privilege Management for Unix & Linux.
Import Certificates	Used with Privilege Management for Unix & Linux.
Grant Permissions	Grants permission to all stored procedures in the schema so that services and web services can run those procedures.
Client Authentication	Click to enable or disable authentication. When disabled, SSL client certificates are ignored. When enabled, client certificates are required, rather than simply accepted. To confirm settings, go to the SSL Settings in IIS for the BeyondInsight server.
Management Console	For environments with multiple console installations, you can disable services to save resources. For example, if you run Password Safe and would like to deploy more than one console, you do not need services running on the secondary consoles. This setting applies to software installations, not hardware U-Series Appliance installations.
