Setup screen errors

The Setup screen performs some tests to ensure that the system has been installed correctly and the servers are running. The following section outlines a number of scenarios where these tests fail, and what action is advised.

• Cannot communicate with servers

  If Haventec Authenticate or Haventec Console are not running, or the frontend cannot communicate with either backend, the messages at the top will indicate which server communication failed, similar to the following

  

  In this case, check that the servers are running, and there are no errors in their logs

• Generic error

  If there are any other problems detected with the install, the setup screen will display the following message

  

  In this case, re-install the applications.
