If you chose a database other than the included PostgreSQL, make sure you have installed your
database before you begin this installation.
Note: The connections between some clients and a Connect:Direct Server are unsecure. Passwords sent
by one of these clients to a C:D Server are obfuscated, but the session is not encrypted. The
clients are: the CD Requester, the Windows CLI, any user-written Windows SDK client and
FileAgent.
To install Sterling Connect:Direct Server and Requester:
- Insert the CD into the CD
drive. If Autorun is enabled,
the installation automatically starts. Otherwise, start setup.exe
from the Microsoft Windows run option.
-
If you downloaded the software, double-click CDWindows setup.exe from the download
folder.
- On the Welcome dialog,
click Next.
- Select Typical and
click Next.
Note: When installing in a clustered environment, you must deselect the Requester feature (do not
install at this time). Instead, do one of the following:
- Install the Sterling Connect:Direct Requester (Stand-Alone) using the CDRequester
Setup.exe.
- Install the Requester feature on a different system outside the cluster environment.
- To configure the Sterling
Connect:Direct Server, enable
Default and click Next.
- Select the database
to use and click Next.
Note: The SQL Server
option applies to either a remote
SQL Server or the local installation of SQL Server Express.
- Click Next.
- Configure
the database you selected as follows:
- If you accepted the default database, PostgreSQL, type the information provided by your
system administrator and click Next.
Note: If you chose another database and decide to install
PostgreSQL at a later time, run setup.exe. You can also install the PostgreSQL feature using the
"Add/Remove Programs" tool from the Windows Control Panel, or "Programs and Features" on Windows
Vista, 2008R2 or Windows 7.
- To configure MySQL, type the MySQL Server options provided
by your system administrator and click Next.
- To
configure SQL Server, type the address of the remote SQL
Server and identify the authentication method. Click Next.
- For SQL Server Express, the SQL Server field is
populated with (local)\CDWINDOWS. Unless an advanced configuration
is performed, do not make changes to the SQL Server field or the Microsoft
Windows authentication credentials of the current user. Click Next.
- Click Install.
-
When the installation is finished, Sterling Connect:Direct Requester is automatically started.
If you do not want it to start automatically, deselect the option.
- Click Finish.
