To maintain integrity

  1. In AcuityLogic Admin, click Tools, select Integrity, and select Generate.
  2. Select one of the following options:
    • Text to generate a hash value for text
    • File to generate a hash value for a file
  3. Do one of the following:
    • In the Input Text field, enter the text to generate a hash value for.
    • Click Choose File, and find and select the file to generate a hash value for.
  4. Click Generate Hash.

    The hash value for the text or file is displayed.

  5. Copy the hash value to use in step 9.
  6. In AcuityLogic Admin, click Tools, select Integrity, and select Validate.
  7. Select the Text or File option.
  8. Do one of the following:
    • In the Input Text field, enter the text for which you want to validate a hash value.
    • Click Choose File, and find and select the file to validate a hash value for.
      Use the same text or file that you used in step 3.
  9. In the Enter Hash Key field, enter the hash value generated in step 4.
  10. Click Validate.
    • If the input text or file matches the hash key, this message appears: “The input text matches the hash key.”
    • If the input text or file does not match the hash key, this message appears: “The input text do not match the hash key.”
