First Time Wizard
Scope: SessionLimit 2.0
If you are installing the SessionLimit software for the first time, you must provide the initial settings with FTW (First Time Wizard) for the system to be operational.
FTW.exe runs automatically after the setup is finished. By default, the FTW application is located under C:\Program Files\SessionLimit Server 2.0\FTW. If the installation address is changed, you can go to the FTW folder in the installation directory. It is necessary to run the application with the "Run As Administrators" command.
The first of the prerequisites for FTW is that you need to run it with a user with sysadmin rights on the SQL Server server.
Encryption
The item "Encrypting the settings" on the welcome screen is important. When this is selected, all information in the appsettings.json file and all user passwords added to the Database are encrypted and saved. Password entry is made at 3 points.
If SQL Authentication is used, Connection String is saved encrypted,
If an LDAP Account is used, the password of the account is encrypted,
The root account password is encrypted and stored.
Installation Type
If it is being installed for the first time, "New Installation" is selected.
IIS Settings
The address where the SessionLimit web application will be published is entered in the Host Name field. ex: seslim.domain.com. If an SSL Certificate is available and installed on the system, Enable SSL Binding is selected and the appropriate certificate is selected from the Select Certificate menu. LocalSystem or an appropriate user account can be logged in for the Application Pool.
We recommend that you use a GMSA account for the ApplicationPool identity value.
Database
On the Database screen, the name of the SQL Server server and the Instance name are entered. For example: SERVERNAME, SERVERNAME\INSTANCENAME, SERVERNAME,PORT etc.
Database name and path information can be changed. If SQL Authentication Mode is used, the username and password information required to connect to SQL is entered by selecting Enable SQL Authentication.
Active Directory
On the Active Directory screen, the necessary information to connect to the current environment is entered. The server name or, as recommended, domain FQDN information is entered in the Domain FQDN field. For example: domain.com.
Secure LDAP connection is recommended. If the system supports it, Secure is selected and port information is entered.
User information that has the authority to connect to the LDAP system for reading phone attributes. If this field is left blank, the IIS Application Pool account is used for these operations.
Administrators
The application has a root user. This user is the account that allows basic settings such as defining an authorized account to the system, LDAP connection and SMS settings.
On the Administrators screen, a password, provided that it is complex, is created for the root account. The password must be at least 8 characters, contain at least 3 of the following sets of lower/uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
