2.3 Web Installation and Configuration

IMPORTANT:You must begin your component download with eDirectory™ and iManager. These two software components help you to manage many of the remaining components.

If you want to install GroupWise and MailScanner on the same server, use the Add/Remove function to add MailScanner only after GroupWise is installed. Adding these two applications simultaneously at the initial install might cause the GroupWise install to fail.

  1. Type the link supplied at the end of your server installation in your Web browser and press Enter to bring up the first page of the Web installation.

  2. The first page you see is the End User License Agreement (EULA). Read through the agreement and click I Agree to advance to the next page.

  3. The next page is Network Settings. Verify the settings or add the correct information.

    • IP Address: The address should be the one from the initial setup of your server operating system. Verify that this is accurate.

    • Netmask: Verify the netmask from your network.

    • Gateway: Verify the gateway from your network.

    • DNS Entry: Verify the IP address of your DNS server.

    • Host: Specify a name for your server. The host name should be the same as your server. You should not include special characters in the name of your server.

    • Domain: The domain should match the name of your Internet domain name.

  4. After you have specified the correct information, click Next.

  5. You are then advanced to the License Key page. Specify your contact e-mail address and the license keys that were provided to you, then click Next.

  6. Click Check for Updates. If updates are found, select Install Updates. After the check is complete, click Next.

  7. On the User Information page, specify the password information for the administrator login. You have two options:

    • Basic Setup: Specify a password for the NOWS SBE Administrator. The server root password will be the same.

    • Advanced Mode: Click Advanced Mode. This allows you to specify a separate password for the NOWS SBE Administrator (sbsadmin) and for the server admin.

      IMPORTANT:The difference between these two passwords is that the NOWS Administrator password enables you to add, remove, or configure components on your NOWS server from the NOWS admin console. The server password is what you use to configure or update your server from the console. If you do not choose to make each password different, then the passwords are the same as the NOWS Administrator password you have chosen. Passwords must be at least five characters long and cannot include any special characters.

    When you are at the Install Additional Components page, you can install some, all, or none of the components. If you choose to install none of the components at this time, you can add components from the NOWS Admin GUI later. The components have been grouped together with similar software types for easy location, often appearing in multiple locations.

  8. Do one of the following:

    • If you choose not to install components, click Next, and then on the Install Additional Components page, click Next again. On the Component Installation page, click Install. Click Continue to Administration. To log out, click the red button next to You are logged in as.

    • If you do choose to install components now, select components on the Install Additional Components page. Click Continue to Administration to begin the configuration of your chosen NOWS components.
