How to set the database to read-only mode manually

If you enable the database read-only mode, you cannot modify the database. Messages, alarms and manual operations continue to work as normal.

To set your EntraPass database to read-only mode, complete the following steps:

  1. On the EntraPass server or workstation, right-click anywhere in the main window.
  2. Click Database read-only.
  3. Click Yes to confirm the action.
  4. Click OK to close the confirmation box. The network database state indicator, in the lower right of the window, turns from green to black.
  5. To restore your database to normal mode, right-click anywhere in the main window and click Database read-only. The network database status indicator, in the lower right of the window, turns from black to green.
    Note: The database remains in read-only mode until an operator disables it or until the server is restarted.
