Running the eGuide Quick Setup Wizard

Before you can configure and use eGuide, you must run the Quick Setup Wizard.

NOTE:  When you run the Quick Setup Wizard, you need to select some security settings. The security option is Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This setting is also necessary for one of the LDAP data sources. If you are unfamiliar with this security option, see Transport Layer Security before you run the Quick Setup Wizard.

1. Access the following URL from your browser:

   http://web_server:port_number/eGuide/admin/index.html (case sensitive)

   Replace web_server with the host name or IP address of the Web server where you installed eGuide.

   NOTE:  The port number depends on your Web server configuration.

   If the Quick Setup Wizard fails to start, you might need to modify the configuration of your Web server or servlet engine in order to make the eGuide application accessible. The configuration requirements vary depending on the Web server. Consult your Web server documentation for details. You might need to restart your Web server and servlet engine after reconfiguring them.

2. Follow the prompts to set up the first LDAP data source you want to search with eGuide.

   The Quick Setup Wizard automatically launches the eGuide Administration Utility when it is finished. You can use the Administration Utility to configure and customize eGuide. The remaining sections in this chapter explain how to configure and customize eGuide. For instructions on access the Administration utility, see Accessing the eGuide Administration Utility.

   The following circumstances might require additional configuration:

   • If the LDAP data source that you configure in the wizard does not contain the same schema classes that eGuide uses by default.

     eGuide creates a User search catergory and adds the InetOrgPerson, OrganizationalPerson, and Person schema classes to that category. If any of these classes are not in the LDAP data source you configure in the Quick Setup Wizard, you might need to add one or more schema classes to the User search category so eGuide can access all the needed information in the LDAP data source. For details on adding a schema class to a search category, see Adding and Removing Schema Classes from a Search Category.

   • If you do not want the authentication credentials that you entered in the wizard used as the default proxy credentials. For details on setting additional proxy credentials in eGuide, see Editing LDAP Settings.
