The Mividas Installer start screen shows all the products that you have access to via your license key. In this case, there should be an alternative to install Mividas Core.
Start by clicking on “Configure” for the Mividas Core product on the Mividas Installer start screen. This takes you to the configuration of your installation of Mividas Core before it is ready for deployment. In this example we are using the stand-alone version of Mividas Core.
Hostname
The first thing to fill in is information regarding the hostname to be used for your Mividas Core installation. Fill in the hostname and possibly the certificates to be used for access to the installation after deployment. Read more about certificates.
Local settings
Specify which language and time zone to use. Note that Mividas Core will first and foremost use the language setting in the web browser for selecting language for the user interface, if the web browser language is not available then the default language will be used instead.
Outgoing email settings (SMTP)
Fill in the SMTP settings that will be used for example for e-mail invitations. If you have filled in these settings when you did your onboarding of Mividas Installer, the fields will be pre-filled with what you specified in that step, but can now be changed if desired.
Other settings
These settings are usually not necessary but are available for specific cases where they are needed.
Optional settings
Often these settings are not necessary to fill in but are available to make more specific changes.
LDAP authentication settings
By default, settings for LDAP will be filled in with what was specified when onboarding Mividas Installer, but can here be changed for your Mividas Core installation.
See LDAP authentication settings for more information about LDAP
Cisco Meeting Server
Set which different number series that should apply for your meeting rooms, so that they can be matched to your current environment. This step will also be included in the onboarding wizard for Mividas Core and can be specified there as well.
Separate domain name for scheduling-API
Choose if you want network separation for the scheduling API, so that traffic will go through a separate hostname if you want to add firewall rules or the like. These are also slimmed down so only the functions that apply to the scheduling API are used by this hostname.
Separate domain name for Rooms Endpoint event requests
This option is available for Core + Rooms installations. Should an event be sent to Mividas Rooms from the conference system, this can then go via a separate hostname to be able to distinguish this traffic and e.g. add firewall rules.
This is something we recommend using to also simplify troubleshooting but also if there is e.g. any overload, one can also shut down this particular type of traffic temporarily in a simpler way.
Separate domain name for incoming SMTP invites
You have the option to specify a separate domain to use for conference system email addresses. This is used, among other things, to redirect e-mails through external spam filters. Enter the hostname and any settings for the certificates to be used.
Save configuration and continue
Note that all the Settings you have entered in these steps can be changed at a later time. you can read more about this under Update settings after deployment.
After you have gone through and filled in the necessary settings, you proceed by clicking on “Configure” at the bottom of the page that takes you to the step to deploy Mividas Core with the settings you have selected.
Deployment
After you have gone through and filled in the necessary settings during the configuration and clicked on “Configure”, you will be redirected to the step to deploy your installation of Mividas Core.
Start by selecting which version of Mividas Core to install in the drop-down list to the right then click on “Deploy changes” to start the installation. You can now follow the installation process in a terminal that appears under the deploy button. When the installation is complete, you may reload the page and then you should see the correct version displayed for Mividas Core.
The next step is to move on to the onboarding for your Mividas Core installation. Open a web browser and navigate to the hostname that you entered for the installation. Read more in the Onboarding wizard documentation. Note that the hostname you selected for your installation must be a valid record in your DNS.
Update settings after deployment
After the installation of Mividas Core is complete, you still have the option to change settings. To do this, click on the installation you want to change from the Mividas Installer start screen.
Then click on “Configure” for the product you wish to change settings for and make the changes you desire. After you are satisfied, click on “Save” which will take you back to the deployment of the product. Finally, you need to click on “Deploy changes” to apply the new settings to your installation.
After the installation process is complete you may now reload the page and your update is completed.
