Issue
To minimize remote NT Services Administration failure when starting Sentry CA/RA.
Using Remote Services Administration on Windows NT will fail  when the target service is using an installation of Sentry CA that is  not configured to be started automatically. The PIN dialog that is  normally displayed at service startup will not appear when you are  administering the services remotely, thus the selected service will not start.
Resolution
Sentry CA can be configured to start up without prompting for the Luna or CA key PIN by entering this information into the xudad.conf file.  This will allow remote service administration on  NT. See the CA Administrator's Guide for more information on how this is done.
