Once you have entered a valid license key, you will be redirected to the general settings. To simplify the workflow, these settings will later be used as the default settings for all the Mividas products that you later choose to install.
You can always go back and change these default settings by navigating to Settings which is always displayed at the page top navigation.
General server settings
The first thing you will need to fill in is general settings regarding your server.
- Server is running on SSD / SAN instead of hard drive
This setting is for database management which will be optimized based on the selection you make here. - Allow sending traceback of unhandled errors to Mividas
With this choice, you allow Mividas products to send traceback of unhandled errors back to Mividas for troubleshooting. - Timezone and default language
Finally, you choose which time zone and language to set as default for your upcoming product installations.
Network settings
- Internal IP address of server
This IP number should be the same as for the virtual machine you set up for the Mividas Installer. The IP number will be automatically filled in with the same value as on the server. - Internal hostname of server
Enter the hostname to use for your server, preferably the same hostname as the one you entered when you set up Mividas virtual machine (read VM deployment for more information). - Trusted HTTP load balancer / reverse proxy IPS
It is common to have a firewall or load balancer that first receives calls and then forwards them to the server. By filling in the IP address, the load balancer here should e.g. the actual IP numbers from the calls to appear in logs instead of the IP number of the load balancer. - DNS Overrides
SSL settings
The next section that you need to fill in is SSL settings, here you can upload the various certificates that should be used by default when someone connects to the server.
Mividas Installer also has tools for creating certificates that are mainly used for testing or while waiting for the valid certificates. You can read more about this under Certificate management.
Default outgoing email settings (SMTP)
Here you enter information for your outgoing SMTP server that will be used, for example, when sending invitation messages. These settings are optional and will be automatically filled in when installing future products, which will otherwise be left blank.
- Display-name of sender
Enter the name that should appear as the sender when sending an email. - Sending email address
Enter the e-mail address that will apply to e-mails, in most cases a no-reply address is usually entered here. - Relay hostname (SMTP server hostname)
Enter the hostname of the SMTP server through which the email is to be sent. - Use SSL
Check this if SSL is to be used for secure communication. - Port
Specify the port to use for the SMTP server. - Username
Enter the user name of the SMTP server. - Password
Finally, enter the password that applies to the SMTP server. If there is no password, enter a hyphen as the password.
Default LDAP authentication settings
Here you enter default information for your LDAP or AD server so that you do not have to enter this information every time a new product is added.
See LDAP and SAML SSO login for more information
Mividas Installer onboarding is now complete
After specifying the various default settings for the server, you are now ready to start adding products that are available through your license key. These products appear on the Mividas Installer home page that you access by clicking on the logo at the top left of the page, or “Installation” in the main navigation at the top of the page.
