### 9.2.1. Creating a New EKM Cache Server

To create a new EKM Cache Server, perform the following steps on the Master server:

1. From the main drop box, select Administration, then select Servers.

2. Select (New) > Cache Server. This opens the New EKM Cache Server dialog box:

3. Enter a name for the new server that is to be added (for example, `RemoteServer1` or `ekmslave1`). The server name is an identifier used by EKM to refer to that server.

4. Enter the fully qualified host name of the remote server (for example, `server1.domain.com`).

5. Enter the port number on which EKM is running on the remote server.

6. Enter the protocol used to communicate with the remote server (for example, `HTTP`).

7. If you are setting up Slave workspaces for running jobs, enter the name of the workspace on the Slave server in which jobs will be run. Otherwise, if you are just setting up a cache server for transferring files, leave this field blank.

8. If you are setting up a cache server for transferring files, select the users to assign to this cache server.

   You can select a user in two ways:

   - Select the user from the Specify users associated with this cache server dropdown.

   - Start typing the user's first name, last name, or username in the Specify users associated with this cache server box. As you type, a list of possible matches is displayed, enabling you to make a quick selection.

   Once you have selected a user, click Add.

   All selected users will make use of this cache server for their File Transfer Client and Workbench file transfers. You may also assign the cache server for a user when creating a new user. See Adding and Modifying Users.

   Note: Users do not need to be assigned to support caching of the Master data in a Slave workspace. That happens automatically. It is required to enable caching for File Transfer Client and Workbench file transfers.

9. Click OK. A new server of type `Cache Server` is created on the Administration/Servers page.
