Installation Preparedness Checklist

PRELIMINARY, not complete

The checklist is divided in two sections, one for IT and one for the organization/management. In order for an installer to be able to succeed, please ensure that the following topics are handled successfully:

IT

  • Establish an SQL Server strategy, tick one:

  • Use an SQL Server installed on the DVI server, or

  • Obtain a blank server and install Microsoft SQL Server on it, server name: ___________________________________________________________________________, or

  • Use an existing shared Microsoft SQL Server / SQL Server hotel, server name: ___________________________________________________________________________ (including instance if relevant)

  • Ensure that the IT user/administrator that will be logged in during DVI Softare installation is created as Administrator on the SQL Server Instance (not necessarily on the Windows Server where the SQL Server is installed) so that that user can connect and create new databases on the SQL Server.

  • Get a blank server ready and record the server- and domainname: ___________________________________________________________________________ If you don’t add a logical site name to DNS, this will become your sitename as well.

  • (optional) Invent a web sitename and register it in DNS as: ___________________________________________________________________________ with api. , ids. and client. added in front as well and link it to your servername (4 entries)

  • Check that your DNS is knowing the 4 endpoints [sitename], api.[sitename], ids.[sitename], client.[sitename] and that they are pointing to your [servername] IP address

  • Request and receive an SSL certificate valid for the 4 site endpoints or outside of your firewall/proxy, see also ssl-certificate

You will not be able to connect clients on a network without a trusted organizational SSL certificate
