   • Central node selected (default): Your installation is considered to be the master in a multi-machine setup. The master has direct access to the central repository database. The master QRS synchronizes the central repository database with the local repository databases so that they all contain the same information.

   Then click Next.

   The Host name dialog is displayed.

7. The central node uses certificates to communicate with other servers securely. Specify the address to this machine in the same format that other machines will use to connect to this machine. This address (host name) will later be used for exporting certificates to other nodes. You can also select one of the pre-defined values in the list.

Then click Next.

The Ready to install dialog is displayed.
