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:
-
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/run: mstsc /Console /v:<server name>
with:
<server name>: Name of the terminal server (without leading "\")
-
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
-
Start the installation wizard and install the One Identity Manager components as described.
-
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.

To set up the One Identity Manager database, use the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard runs the following steps.
-
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.
-
Creates the required SQL Server logins and database users permissions for the administrative user, configuration user, and end user.
-
Creates administrative system users and permissions groups.
-
Encrypts the database.
-
Installs and configures a One Identity Manager Service with direct access to the database for handling SQL processes and automatic server software updates.
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.
