The password is only assigned when installing the license.

Initially, newly installed servers have no password protection, thus cannot distribute licenses to clients, because this is linked to the password assignment.

Only when the first license is installed (where the Master/Backup configuration is specified), the password assignment is required when saving. (Without password assignment, actually the server cannot be used for productive operation.)

Before that time the server is „PASSIVE“ and actually cannot be properly used by any client.

A cluster can be created before.

Install all license servers (2/3) without licenses. See Section 3.9, “License server installation - Request/install licenses ” in Installation Manual.

Connect from any client.

Extract the server's hostids via *.json-file and send them to CADENAS in order to request a license or use tabbed page Request licenses online, where the server's mac addresses are automatically read-out.

Once you received the license, connect to the created cluster again and install the license. Here, a password has to be mandatorily assigned. (The password assignment can also happen before when reading-out the hostids.)

Note The person managing the licenses does not necessarily need admin access to the license server. For him knowing the password is sufficient - after initial assignment.
