KeyControl System Console Menu Overview

When you log into a server hosting a KeyControl node as root, KeyControl displays the System Console Menu. This menu lets you configure the local KeyControl server. In general, the changes you make here do not apply to any other KeyControl node in the cluster.

The menu is a TUI (Text-based User Interface). You navigate through the TUI using the Tab key to move between fields and pressing Enter when the correct choice is highlighted. If the TUI screen has numbers at the start of the line, you can also press the corresponding number key and then press Enter to navigate through the menus.

In the screenshot above, pressing Enter goes to the Network Configuration screen of the TUI.

To return to the main System Console Menu screen, press Esc (Escape). Based on where you are in the menus, you may need to press Esc several times.
