6.0 Installing and Configuring the Engine, Database, and Web Application in an Active Directory Environment

Procedures in this section include those needed for installing and configuring the Engine, configuring the database, and configuring the Web Application in an Active Directory network environment.

This assumes that Active Directory is to be the primary identity system for File Reporter. In other words, authentication is to take place via Active Directory. Additionally, the Engine requires a license for the Active Directory version of File Reporter.

NOTE:Although Active Directory is the primary identity system, you can still have File Reporter scan and report on storage resources residing in eDirectory. See Section 6.2, Prerequisites.
