Summary: this section explains how to initialize the CAST Management Studio - i.e. configure a CAST license key and define the source code Delivery and Deployment folders.

Introduction

Once the CAST Security schemas have been successfully created (see previous step: Create CAST Security schemas) you now need to initialize the CAST Management Studio. You can do this in two ways:

Via the CAST Management Studio GUI - this method is best used in small deployments where only a handful of Applications (and therefore a small number of “combined installation” CAST schemas) require initialization. This option requires that you open the CAST Management Studio, connect to EACH Management Service schema and then configure the required settings for EACH.
Via the CAST Management Studio CLI - this method is best used in large scale deployments where many dozens of Applications require initialization. This method allows the settings to be configured via a batch script file and therefore does not require that the CAST Management Studio is opened for EACH Management Service schema.

Prerequisites


✅	Access to the CAST Management Service schema and any associated schemas is governed by a global license key. You must have a valid license key in your possession before you begin.

Via the CAST Management Studio GUI

Info

When using this method, you must repeat the instructions for each Management Service schema that you have installed. The CAST Management Studio should be run from the machine used to run the CAST Security setup.
