Installing File Discovery, Entitlement and Classification (FDEC) for your NAS or
SharePoint environment
Before you begin
- Users need administrative privileges that match on both the server side as well as NAS and
SharePoint environments. Please review the permissions guidelines before proceeding: Scan Permissions.
- For detailed platform prerequisites and support NAS devices, see Supported platforms for file discovery.
Procedure
- Determine what environment to use, NAS or SharePoint. If a user wants to install the
client to scan a NAS device, install the client on a Windows server that can access the NAS device
through the network. But if a user wants to install the client to scan SharePoint, install it
directly on the SharePoint server or SharePoint server farm.
Note: There should be no other Guardium products on this server.
-
Download the FDEC for NAS and SharePoint package from Fix Central
to the server and unzip this file.
-
Navigate to the FDEC package installer directory and run the executable file
setup.exe in the installer directory.
-
Follow the prompts in the wizard to complete the installation.
- Specify the service user who has admin privileges for the share they wish to scan.
- In the Network Addresses screen, enter a list
of Guardium hostnames or IP addresses. If there is a failover, the FDEC agent connects to the next
appliance on the list.
Note:
The default installation directory for FDEC for NAS is C:\Program
Files\IBM\FDECforNAS
The default installation directory for FDEC for SharePoint is C:\Program
Files\IBM\FDECforSP
