This section guides you through the installation of the IDERA Dashboard, a common technology framework for IDERA products.
Before you install the IDERA Dashboard, be sure to have:
The IDERA Dashboard Web Application service comes with SSL already set up. By default, SSL works with a self-signed certificate. This certificate can be used for encryption only and does not prove the identity of the server. That default certificate is not signed by any well-known Certification Authority (CA), and is intended only for use in testing purposes. When a user attempts to open the SSL version of the IDERA Dashboard Web interface, a warning appears in the browser window. For more information about running the IDERA Dashboard over SSL, see Run IDERA Dashboard over SSL (HTTPS). |
You can install the IDERA Dashboard on any computer that meets or exceeds the product requirements.
