Before Installing

Note the following before beginning the installation process:

  • Adhere to the order of the process as presented in the online documentation. For example: STS should be installed first, followed by other applications, then proceed to databases.
  • It is recommended that Expere Document Services and DocumentServices be installed on separate servers.
  • Expere Document Services and DocViewer can be installed on the same server.
  • It is recommended that DocumentService be installed on a server with RabbitMQ and clustered with DGS.

Database Recommendations

This section describes the user types that will connect to the databases; depending on the user type, these are the recommended security considerations.

  • There will be Windows Services connecting to the database as either a trusted connection using the Log On As identity or as a configurable connection string using a username and password.
  • There will be IIS appilcations that connect to the database as either a trusted connection using the application pool identity or as a configurable connection string using a username and password.
Note: Consult with your Professional Services Integration Engineer for the recommended approach and implementation details.

These are the three most commonly-used identities:

  • Network Service (NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE)
  • Machine Name (WKMNLAB\LABW6416HVM450$)
  • Domain Account (NA\service_account)
