Preparation for Installation

Architecture

Before continuing with installation, you will want to review the server architecture documentation and the requirements documentation.

If this is just a test installation, you can install the necessary components on a single computer or workstation. For production, it is highly encouraged to use at least two seperate servers, the web and data servers.

User Accounts

For security reasons you will want to make at least one service account. We have traditionally used two service accounts with one for the web application and one for the builder service. As the type off work these two applications perform has become more similar, however, the need for two seperate accounts diminishes. You will need to create one account under which all the applications run and which have access to all the required data services.

If this is a test installation, you can run all the applications and services under your own user account, although this is highly discouraged for a production environment.
