Installing One Identity Manager components on a Windows terminal server

To install One Identity Manager tools on a Windows terminal server, you need to ensure that the Windows terminal server has been fully installed and configured. This includes profile handling in particular as well as permissions for Windows terminal server use.

NOTE: Ensure that in an Active Directory Domain, the users themselves also have the relevant permissions to use the Windows terminal server.

To install One Identity Manager components on a Windows terminal server:

  1. Log in with a user account that has administrator permissions on the Windows terminal server.

    Logging in using a console connection is recommended. You can use the following calling syntax:

    Start: mstsc /Console /v:<servername>
    with: 
    <server name>: Terminal server name (no leading "\")

  2. Open the command line console (CMD.exe) and switch the Windows terminal server into software installation mode. You can do this with the following command line call:

    CHANGE USER /INSTALL

  3. Start the installation wizard and install the One Identity Manager components as described.

  4. End the software installation mode on the Windows terminal server. You can do this with the following command line call:

    CHANGE USER /EXECUTE

After the installation is complete, anyone who is an authorized Windows terminal server user can start the One Identity Manager tools and use them.

For more information about software installation on Windows terminal servers, refer to the Windows operating system documentation you are using.

Installing and configuring a One Identity Manager database

To set up the One Identity Manager database, use the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard runs the following steps.

  1. Installs the One Identity Manager schema in a database.

    The Configuration Wizard can create a new database and install the One Identity Manager schema. Alternatively, the One Identity Manager schema can be installed in an existing database.

  2. Creates the required SQL Server logins and database users permissions for the administrative user, configuration user, and end user.

  3. Creates administrative system users and permissions groups.

  4. Encrypts the database.

  5. Installs and configures a One Identity Manager Service with direct access to the database for handling SQL processes and automatic server software updates.

  6. Installs and configures the Database Agent Service.

    The Database Agent Service controls processing of DBQueue Processor tasks. The Database Agent Service is deployed through the One Identity Manager Service plugin. Alternatively, the Database Agent Service can be run from the DatabaseAgentServiceCmd.exe command line program.

NOTE: Additional steps are run in One Identity Manager depending on the Edition and Configuration Wizard modules.

Additional steps are required to configure the One Identity Manager database following the schema installation:

  • Configure the database for a test, a development, or a live system.

  • Other system settings may be required for putting individual functions into operation in One Identity Manager.

    Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

    Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

  • In certain circumstances, it is necessary to store encrypted information in the One Identity Manager database. If you did not encrypt the database when you installed with the Configuration Wizard, use the Crypto Configuration program to encrypt.

  • You can log changes to data and information from process handling in One Identity Manager. All entries logged in One Identity Manager are initially saved in the One Identity Manager database. The proportion of historical data to total volume of a One Identity Manager database should not exceed 25 percent. Otherwise, performance problems may arise. You must ensure that log entries are regularly removed from the One Identity Manager database and archived.

    For more information about process monitoring and process history, see the One Identity Manager Configuration Guide. For more information about archiving data, see the One Identity Manager Data Archiving Administration Guide.

Tips for setting up a One Identity Manager database

  • The following prerequisites must be fulfilled on the workstation from which you want to start the One Identity Manager database setup:

    • Installation of the Configuration Wizard

      Use the installation wizard to install the program. To do this, select the Workstation machine role and the Configuration installation package in the installation wizard.

    • Access to the installation sources

      NOTE: If you copy the installation files to a repository, you must ensure that the relative directory tree remains intact.

    • To ensure that HTML applications are successfully compiled, you must download packages from the NPM repository. Ensure that the workstation you are compiling on, can establish a connection to the registry.npmjs.org:443 website.

      Alternatively, you can download packages from a proxy server and install them manually.

  • An installation user with permissions for installing a One Identity Manager database must exist. If you want to use an administrative user to install a One Identity Manager database, ensure that this user has the required permissions.

    For more information, see Users with granular permission for the One Identity Manager database on an SQL Server and Permissions for the One Identity Manager database in a managed instance in an Azure SQL Database.

  • It is not recommended to select a user with Windows authentication for installing the database. If you decide to use it anyway, ensure that your environment supports Windows authentication. You must use the same user to update the database.

  • If you want to install the One Identity Manager schema in an existing database, ensure that the database has the required settings. For more information, see Settings for the database server and the One Identity Manager database on a SQL Server and Database server settings and the One Identity Manager database in a managed instance in an Azure SQL Database.

  • For One Identity Manager databases on SQL Servers, it is recommended, on performance grounds that you set the database to the Simple recovery model for the duration of the schema installation.

  • Always start Configuration Wizard on an administrative workstation.

  • The program performs a remote installation of One Identity Manager Service.

  • If you start the Configuration Wizard on a server on which you also want to configure a One Identity Manager Service, simply skip the section for installing the service on the local server in the Configuration Wizard. Install the One Identity Manager Service with the installation wizard in this case. For more information, see Installing and configuring the One Identity Manager Service.

  • If you are working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database, see Tips for working with an encrypted One Identity Manager database.
