Install File Discovery, Entitlement and Classification (FDEC) for your NAS or SharePoint
environment.
Before you begin
- Users must have matching administrative privileges on both the server side as well as NAS and
SharePoint environments. For more information, see Scan Permissions.
- For detailed platform prerequisites and support for NAS devices, see Supported platforms for file discovery.
Procedure
- Determine what environment to use. If you want 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: Do not install any other Guardium products on this server.
-
Download the FDEC for NAS and SharePoint package to the server from Fix Central
and extract the file.
Note: Before you extract the file, it is recommended that you can unblock the compressed file that
is downloaded to the server. To unblock the compressed file:
- Browse the file in your server, right-click on the file, and select
Properties.
- Select Unblock, and save your changes
If the file is already unblocked, then the Unblock option is not
available.
-
Go to the FDEC package installer directory and run the executable file
setup.exe in the installer directory.
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.
-
Follow the prompts in the wizard to complete the installation.
- Specify the service user who has admin privileges for the share they want to
scan.
- In the Network Addresses page, 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.
