    1. If you get this message (or similar on other operating systems), please right-click the install file and select Properties:

       

    2. The option to unblock the file for execution is at the bottom of the window, click Unblock

      Now, your file is ready to be executed again.

  4.  The first installation dialog is about features and the installation path.
    For now the features can not be altered.
    Unless you wish to change the installation path, just accept the default and click NEXT.:


  5. Installation of new licence:

    During installation/upgrade you will encounter the following dialog:


    If you already have a valid licence, just click "Install".

    Click "Browse" and point at the licence file. Click "Install". The file will be copied to the right location during installation.

    If an old licence file with a different name exist, it must be removed manually from the license subfolder.



  6. Next dialog has the authorization information.


    You can choose between Form authentication and Integrated (AD) authentication.

    Forms authentication

    Use forms authentication when end users need to access the DVI system from remote locations e.g. access via the internet.

    Forms Authentication provides access to the system  through an username and password issued by an administrator account.

    Integrated authentication

    Use integrated authentication when your webserver is present on the Active Directory (AD) where the users using the DVI system reside. This setup provides SSO (single sign on), and is typically used in an intranet network.

    Setup of Integrated Authentication requires knowledge of AD users and groups on an administrative level.



    if you chose Forms authentication , click NEXT and go to step 6. 


    Enter the names of the AD groups which are granted access to the DVI system. Multiple groups must be separated by a comma.

    The AD DVI SYS Admin User is the AD user which initially has access to the system. Only the system administrator has access to the system when the installation is completed.
    It is important that the user name is given in DOMAIN_NAME\username format, not org.dom\username or username@org.dom.
    The first task of the system administrator is to map the AD groups to DVI roles and map AD users to DVI users. See Initial agency and user setup for further infomation.



  7. Anchor
    ServInstStep6
    ServInstStep6
    Next dialog has the main installation information.
    The first two fields are about the SQL Server.
    SQL server hostname:
    If you are installing directly on the server, then (local) is OK.
    If you are using an SQL Express server, you would typically change it to '.\SQLEXPRESS'.
    Name of database catalog:
    The actual name of the database. DVI5 is the preferred default.

     

  8. Next dialog has the database connection information.

    SQL login during installation -> Use Integrated security:

    Check if you wish to install the database with the current Windows credentials.
    Uncheck and provide Login and Password for a existing SQL user (not a domain user) if you wish to Install the database with a SQL user.
    Note that this user must have the "dbcreator" role on the SQL Server.

    SQL login in runtime -> Use Integrated security:
    Check if you wish the runtime user to be authenticated with the Windows credentials of the Application Pool Identity that you specify on the next page..

    SQL login in runtime -> Use impersonation:
    (Available from version 5.0.1.0) Will allow the SQL server to monitor all queries performed by Active Directory user accounts on the DVI5 database. This option is only available when Use Integrated security is checked.

    Important!
    When installing with the impersonation feature enabled, it's important to ensure that the server (or worksation) hosting the DVI5 site allows delegation in the Active Directory where it reside.
    Select the "Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)" option. The option for specific services can also be used to add delation for the SqlServer service only. These operations should be performed by the Active Directory administrator.



    The delegation properties is managed through the “Active Directory Users and Computer” tool on the domain server, which i started by running: %SystemRoot%\system32\dsa.msc

 

 


Uncheck Use Integrated security
and provide Login and Password for a SQL user (not a domain user) if you wish the runtime user to be a SQL user.
If the provided SQL user does not exist on the Server, the user will be automatically created by the installation.
