2. Click on "Cluster" in the Main Menu.
3. Click "Register New Cluster Node".
4. When the "New Cluster Node" window opens, copy the Control Server's Public Key.

| Note You can download the Key as a text file. Click on the "here" link.  |
5. Place the text file containing the Control Server's Public Key in the server.allow directory in the Web Server installation.
 | The text file should have a name similar to the Host Name or IP address of the Control Server. |
