A local SCM admin user is created when Surround SCM is installed. It is strongly recommended that you change the admin password to a unique password.
3. Select a Look for new server stylesheets time interval to set how often the Surround SCM Server should automatically check for new report stylesheets in the server database.
4. Select Automatically upgrade Surround SCM clients to the current Surround SCM Server version to enable automatic client upgrading for clients connecting to this server.
Selecting this option ensures all users are running the correct version of Surround SCM.

6. Select Encrypt server communications to encrypt messages sent between the client and the server.
Messages and file transfers are encrypted with a 512-bit key. Encryption provides a higher level of security but may slow performance due to the time spent to encrypt and decrypt messages.
