Key

This column shows the key exchange status for each device. If Client signature is enabled in the Authentication > Security section of the Server configuration panel in the Server tab (recommended), a device can only connect to the server if it has the correct certificate (key pair) installed. The symbols in this column have the following meaning:

Keys - disabled

No key exchange has been performed for this device. Possible reasons: Client signing is not enabled, or a key has never been generated for the device (and Auto sign in the server configuration is disabled).

Keys - New key allowed

The server has initiated a key exchange process with the device. Either the administrator specifically issued a new device signing key, or Auto sign is enabled in the server configuration. The device has not yet synchronized with the server after the key has been issued.

Keys - exchange 24

The device has synchronized with the server after the key has been issued. The server is now waiting for the device to return a key for validation. This may never happen if the client does not support key generation, and the server is in compatibility mode. If this is the case, the client is permitted to synchronize.

Keys - success 24

The key exchange has been performed with success. The client has made a successful connection to the server.

With client signing, you can be absolutely sure that only devices that are known to the system can gain access to DME. For more information, see Add client signing key and Authentication, or request the special documentation "Client signing".
