Custom Installation > Database Server Role Configuration Parent topic

Before installing the Application Server and Web Server, you must install and setup the Database Server. SecureCloud uses this database to store encryption keys and other sensitive information.

Procedure

  • Database name—during a fresh install, setup creates a database in this SQL server using this database name
  • SQL server name—the target SQL server instance where setup creates the SecureCloud database
  • Failover partner—the mirror database
  • SQL Server user name and password—type a user with sufficient privileges to create database and SQL user
  • Authentication—if the user name does not exist, Setup creates that user in SQL Server to complete the installation process as well as to run the corresponding SecureCloud services. You may opt to create a local SQL Server user or Windows authentication user.
    • SQL Local User (SQL Authentication)—if you use SQL Authentication, store the new user name and password to another host because this information is required during the Web Server and Application Server installation.
    • Windows User (Windows Authentication)—add a Windows user in the SQL Server before installing SecureCloud KMS.
