The EMC SourceOne Search application installs an IIS Web site (Search) which supports the Web client interface to end users and
passes query and results data to and from the EMC SourceOne Web Services software installed on a Worker Services computer.
Deployment scenarios
Depending on the size of your environment, load balancing
requirements, and security considerations, you can deploy the EMC SourceOne application in several ways.
Single-box scenario
You can install the EMC SourceOne Search application on a single EMC SourceOne Web Services computer.

Load balancing scenario

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) considerations
Note the following considerations for using SSL with EMC SourceOne Search:
◆ During the installation of EMC SourceOne Search, you are
presented with the option of enabling SSL. If you select this option and SSL is not enabled for the Web Services, EMC
SourceOne Search will not be able to communicate with the Web Services. Ensure that SSL is enabled for Web Services before selecting this option during the install.
◆ Sensitive data is transmitted between EMC SourceOne Search
and EMC SourceOne Web Services. If you are installing EMC SourceOne Search on an IIS Web server (e.g., not the same physical computer as the EMC SourceOne Web Services), you should enable SSL when installing EMC SourceOne Search.
◆ If you are installing EMC SourceOne Search on an IIS Web server,
you should configure SSL for the Web server itself. Sensitive information such as usernames and passwords are transferred between a user’s Web browser and the Web server. This SSL configuration recommendation is unrelated to the Web Services SSL configuration and enabling SSL during EMC SourceOne Search installation.
User access
Users can access the application from their browser using a URL and authenticate using their Windows Logon or Lotus Notes credentials as described in the EMC SourceOne Search User Guide.
Prerequisites
Table 32 provides an overview of the prerequisites you must complete before installing software.
Table 32 Prerequisites
Prerequisite Details
System requirements Hardware, operating system, network connectivity, and prerequisite software requirements are described in
“Worker Services host computer requirements” on page 63
if installing in the one of the following deployment scenarios:
• “Single-box scenario” on page 128
• “Load balancing scenario” on page 128
If installing on an IIS Web server, see “Storage environment requirements” on page 67.
Accounts and permissions Ensure that Active Directory accounts and groups and other permissions-related configuration is completed as described in “Pre-installation” on page 41.
EMC SourceOne software This installation requires that an EMC SourceOne Web Services computer exists and is accessible on the network. You will specify this host name during the EMC SourceOne Search installation.
If you have configured two or more Web Services computers in a load balancing cluster, you will instead specify the virtual host name during the EMC SourceOne Search software installation. See “Configuring load
You can avoid this error being generated by ensuring that the default Web site on your IIS server is configured to use ASP.NET 2.0 before installing EMC SourceOne software.
Procedures
Table 33 provides an overview of the procedures to install and configure EMC SourceOne Search software on a Worker Services host computer or a Web server.
Copy the setup executable locally
To copy the setup executable for the EMC SourceOne Search software locally to the host computer:
1. If installing the software on an:
• EMC SourceOne Worker Services computer, log in to the host computer using the EMC SourceOne installation account. • IIS Web server, log in to the host computer using an account
which is a member of the local administrators group.
1. Navigate to the Setup\Windows directory on the EMC SourceOne
software kit.
2. Copy the ES1_SearchSetup.exe executable to a temporary
location on the host computer.
Table 33 Procedures
Step Procedure Details
1 “Copy the setup executable locally” on page 131
Copies the installation executables locally.
2 “Install EMC SourceOne Search software” on page 132
Installs the EMC SourceOne Search software.
3 “Configure IIS 7.5 role services (Windows Server 2008 R2 only)” on page 134
If installing on Windows Server 2008 R2, configure required service roles.
4 “Configure single sign-on (SSO)” on page 135
Provides a reference to information on configuring single sign-on.
Install EMC SourceOne Search software
To install the EMC SourceOne Search application software:
1. Navigate to the temporary location to which you copied the setup executable.
2. Double-click the ES1_SearchSetup.exe file and click Run. The
Welcome page displays.
Note: When the installer is run, it validates the system configuration to ensure that prerequisite components are installed. Depending on your system configuration, the installer may automatically install one or more prerequisite components before displaying the Welcome page. Automatically installed components are listed in “Establishing system requirements” on page 58.
4. Accept the default location and click Next to display the Logon
Information page.
5. Enter the logon information: a. Type the Domain.
b. Type the Username and Password. This is the EMC
SourceOne primary service account username and password. c. Type the EMC SourceOne Security Group. The service
account must be a member of this Security Group.
d. The Enable checkbox is already checked in the Service Logon
Policy region. This setting is required to enable services to run without a logged in user.
7. Enter the Server Name for the computer on which Web Services
software is installed. If using SSL, enter the server name or alias to which the SSL certificate was issued.
8. Optionally select the Use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) checkbox to
enable EMC SourceOne Search to communicate with Web Services using an SSL connection only if you have already
configured SSL for the Web Services. Review the considerations described in “Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) considerations” on page 129 before proceeding.
9. Click Next to display the Product Shortcuts page.
10. Click Next to validate the credentials and display the Ready for
Software Installation page. 11. Click Install.
Once the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard Completed Page displays.
12. Click Finish.
Configure IIS 7.5 role services (Windows Server 2008 R2 only)
For Windows 2008 R2, use Server Manager to configure the role services using the information in Table 34.

Configure single sign-on (SSO)
For information on configuring SSO, refer to the following sections:
◆ Single Sign-on Support Example (Windows) ... 223 ◆ Single Sign-on Support Example (Domino) ... 249
Note: You can wait until all EMC SourceOne IIS sites (Web Services, Search
and Mobile Services) are installed before configuring SSO.
