The Sign Optim Exit Dialog

Optim™ will automatically display the Sign Optim Exit dialog anytime you execute the Configuration program if a signed exit does not exist. (You also can manually display that dialog by selecting Options > Sign Optim Exit from the Configuration main window.)

Sign Optim Exit dialog

The Sign Optim Exit dialog includes the following options.

Optim Exit for this Machine

There are three options under the heading Optim Exit for this Machine. Click on the option you want to use.

State

This display-only entry identifies the current state of your exit.

Code Meaning
Unsigned A signed exit does not exist or was not found. This is the standard status after the initial installation of an Optim release. You must sign a valid exit to use Optim.
Valid A signed exit exists. No action is required in response to this status, unless you want to use a different exit.
Corrupt The existing, signed exit was not the one expected by Optim. The two most common reasons for this status are:
  • an install was done on top of an existing install that already contained a signed exit
  • the existing exit was tampered with.

If you receive this status, you must resign a valid exit to use Optim.

Not Authorized The current user does not have permission to access the Configuration program, so Optim will terminate the user's session after displaying an appropriate error message. If the user requires access to the Configuration program, contact your Optim Administrator to have the user's access permissions changed.

Company Information

There are three items listed under this heading: Name, ID, and Password. Each company is assigned a unique company Name, ID, and Password when it receives Optim. These entries are your company credentials for accessing Optim.

When you install Optim on a Windows machine, you normally enter your company Name and ID during setup, although this may not be the case in some instances. See Specifying a Company Name and ID for more information.

Name

Optim will automatically display the company name assigned to your organization here. (Your Optim-supplied name may not match the spelling or punctuation used in your company's actual name.) You cannot change this entry.

ID

Optim will automatically display the company ID assigned to your organization here. You cannot change this entry.

Password

You must specify the Password assigned to your company to sign any exit, whether it be the Optim default exit or a user-supplied exit. This entry is case-insensitive.

This entry is required, unless you selected the Leave the Currently Signed Exit Intact option.

Click OK to Sign the Selected Exit

After you specify your company password to sign an exit, click OK to complete the signing process and close the Sign Optim Exit dialog.

Note: You must sign a valid exit to use Optim. If you click Cancel, instead of OK, and a signed exit does not already exist, Optim will display a warning message and the Configuration program will terminate.
