Typical Installation Parent topic

A typical setup entails installing the database, application, and web server roles on the same host at the same time. Optionally, you can deploy the database role to a separate server and have another server hosts both application and web server roles.

Procedure

    Note
    Note
    To secure the Web Service and Web Console connections, SecureCloud requires an HTTPS connection. The SecureCloud runtime agent and Configuration Tool must be able to verify the certificate trust.
    • Host header—assigned FQDN of the target Windows server
      Ensure that the SSL certificate is issued to this host header. If this field is left empty, the full computer name of the target Windows server is used.
    • IP address—select listening IP from the drop-down list
    • Connection port—accept the default or type the connection ports for Central Management Console, SecureCloud Management Console, and Web Service API.
  3. Provide the SecureCloud service account.
    Setup requires a Windows account (local or domain user) to run SecureCloud services. If you created new user, the information you specify here is for that user.

    • Database encryption backup key
      Next to Key file, click Browse and find the backup key file. Provide its passphrase in the Passphrase box.
      • Initialize key encryption for DB and backup key to file—for fresh install

    • Report template folder—specify a name to store the report templates. If empty, setup uses the default value (/Home).
