Generate KACE Linking Hash

A KACE Linking Hash string allows you to link a primary KACE Systems Deployment Appliance with a Remote Site Appliance (RSA) during the RSA installation. The generated hash string is only active for five minutes.

1.	On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click KACE Linking to display the KACE Linking page.

2.	Select the Enable KACE Linking check box to display the connection settings.

3.	Click Generate Hash.

4.	Copy the text in the KACE Linking Hash (valid for 5 minutes) field and paste it in a central location, such as a Notepad file.

Tip:	TIP: To copy the linking key, simply click the contents of the field. A message briefly appears at the bottom of the field, indicating that the text is successfully copied.

This key is only valid for five minutes. You can generate a new one when that period expires. You can regenerate the hash string while the current one is still valid. This is useful in case you are not sure how long ago the hash was generated.

If you navigate away from the page after generating the hash string, and then return to it, the linking hash field remains filled unless five minutes expire by the time the page is rendered.

The text that you paste in Notepad is the text that you copy and paste in the Parent SDA Linking Hash field in the KACE Remote Site Appliance Initial Configuration Wizard. For more information, see the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Setup Guide.
