CimTrak™ Master Repository Installation – Windows Command Line

The way in which the non-graphical installation of the CimTrak™ Master Repository is started, will depend on what operating system you are installing it on. After the installation is started, the process is the same for all operating systems. Determine which operating system you are using.

For Windows Platforms: Navigate to the location where the CimTrak™ Install file is

located and run “setupwin32.exe”. The Install Wizard should begin automatically, however, if it does not you may start the Install Wizard by opening a command prompt and typing the following command:

“X\setupwin32.exe” where “X” is the path to the CimTrak™ Install file’s directory.

NOTE: Agents, or object groups that have spaces in their names will require the use of double quotes in order to properly execute.

The first screen is language selection. Enter a “1” or “2” and press “Enter” to submit your selection. Then type “0” and press “Enter” to move to the next screen.

Figure 20 – Language Selection

NOTE: After every screen in which the user inputs configuration settings, the user is

given the option to go to the previous screen, cancel the installation, redisplay the current page, as well as continue to the next page.

The next screen is the End User License Agreement. You will need to read and accept the EULA to continue the installation and use CimTrak™. When done, type “1” and press “Enter” to accept the agreement, then type “0” and press “Enter” to move to the next screen.

A Welcome screen will appear. Press the “Enter” key to continue past this screen.

Figure 23 – CimTrak™ Welcome Screen

The next screen shows the directory where CimTrak™ will be installed. You may leave the default directory in place (recommended) or change the path to meet your specifications.

Figure 24 – Installation Directory

Now you can select the components to be installed. To select the components, enter the corresponding number of the component. When done, type “0” to move to the next screen.

The next screen will confirm your installation selections. Select “Next” to begin the install.

The installation of the CimTrak™ Master Repository will proceed.

The installer will ask the user if a firewall rule can be added to the Windows Firewall (see image below.) This allows communication between the CimTrak™ Master Repository and other components on different computers.

Figure 28 – Add Firewall Rule

If Yes is chosen, the CimTrak™ installer will set up an Exception in the Windows Firewall: all communication to and from the CimTrak™ Master Repository and the other CimTrak™ components will be allowed by the Windows Firewall, regardless of the port number used. This way any port number can be chosen during installation.

NOTE: This only affects the built-in Windows Firewall. If a third-party firewall package is used, that firewall must be configured so that communication between the CimTrak™ Master Repository and the other CimTrak™ components will be allowed.

Now that the files are installed, CimTrak™ must set up the CimTrak™ Master Repository database. CimTrak™ must create a user on the system. This user must have “User Level” privileges only. CimTrak™ can create a generic user with a default username of “CimTrak™.” By default, the password must be entered at this point. The password can also be randomly generated (However, in some cases the random password may not meet the password policies of certain networks or systems. In these cases, the password should be entered at this point.)

NOTE: If an existing username is entered, the installation cannot continue. The installer must create a new user on the system to continue the installation process; the user must enter a non-existing username.

Optional encryption may additionally be added to the CimTrak™ Database by entering a password. This password should be saved in a secure manner. In

the event that Cimcor, Inc. Support Technicians are asked to access the CimTrak™ Database, the password entered on this screen will be needed by Support. If no additional encryption is desired, then leave the password field blank.

Also, the administrator has the option to save a backup of the CimTrak™ Master Repository key. This key, separate from the above password, can be used to decrypt the data in the CimTrak™ Master Repository in the event of a system failure.

Once the files have been installed and the CimTrak™ Master Repository initialization is complete, the CimTrak™ Master Repository will need to be configured. You will select the port that the CimTrak™ Master Repository will use to communicate with CimTrak™ File System Agents.

The default port is 3749.

Next, the location of the CimTrak™ Master Repository must be chosen. You may use the default directory (recommended) or select a directory based on your specific needs.

You then have the option to automatically restart CimTrak™ Master Repository in the event of program termination.

Then, the encryption of the CimTrak™ Master Repository data will need to be determined.

Lastly, you may select whether WebTrends Logging will be used.

Figure 35 – Set WebTrends Logging

(WebTrends logging is an output file format that is used by WebTrends-specific file analysis programs. If you are not sure if you are using WebTrends logging, ask your system administrator. In a default installation, output for WebTrends Logging is stored in C:\Program Files\Cimcor\CimTrak™\CimTrak™Server\WTLogs)

The CimTrak™ Master Repository now needs to know what properties will be required for the user passwords. There are four basic choices:

1. No requirements

2. AR 25-2 Standard with a user-entered password

3. AR 25-2 Standard with a randomly-generated password 4. Custom Password settings:

• Require “2” lower case, “2” upper case, “2” numbers, and “2” special characters.

• Random Password Generation.

• Check against password dictionary. This prevents easy-to-crack passwords.

• Require minimum password length of a specified number of characters.

• Passwords expire after specified number of days.

• Prevent use of the last specified number of passwords.

• Lock out account after specified number of logon failures. If an account is locked, the account can be locked for a specified number of minutes (or locked out indefinitely.)

NOTE: If Custom settings are chosen, then the Administrator will define the following settings.

Next, you must determine how the data will be encrypted between the CimTrak™ components and the CimTrak™ Master Repository. Once you make this selection, click on “Enter.”

The next screen allows you to set up Syslog alerts. If you will not use Syslog alerts, leave the IP Address blank.

Figure 38 – Syslog Information

Now, you will be asked to set up SNMP alerts. If you will not use SNMP alerts, leave the IP Address blank.

Figure 39 – SNMP Information

Next, you can set up email alerts. If you will not use the Email server to send alerts, leave the IP Address blank. See the User Guide for information on how to configure CimTrak™ to send Email alerts.

In order to use CimTrak™, you must enter a Serial number. If you do not enter a Serial number, CimTrak™ will only work as a 30-day trial version. Serial numbers may be obtained from your License Certificate or Sales Representative.

Figure 41 – Serial Number

Lastly, you will need to set-up the primary administrator account. Be sure that the password follows the rules you established earlier. Make sure you keep the password stored in a safe location.

This completes the set up process of the CimTrak™ Master Repository.
