Post installation

Post-installation tasks for configuring the OneSite Platform.

Add certificate to the root store

If a self-signed certificate was selected, you should import the certificate into the Trusted Root Certification Authorities container on every device where the Adaptiva Admin Portal will be accessed. Each OneSite Administrator who will use the Admin Portal from a remote device will need to import the certificate. Alternatively, the certificate can be deployed using a GPO or Intune policy.

Download and install the certificate

1. In your browser, navigate to your Adaptiva Server name with optional :port - https://<servername>[:port].

   Example: https://adaptivaserver:9678

2. You will see the message Your connection isn't private.

3. Click on the text Not secure next to the Address URL.

4. Click on Your connection to this site isn't secure.

5. Click on the certificate icon to view the certificate.

   

   Certificate Details
6. Select the Details tab.

7. Click on Export.

8. Select a destination (your Downloads folder) - leave the default filename of <servername>.crt.

9. Close your browser.

10. In File Explorer, browse to the saved certificate and double-click it.

11. Select Install Certificate....

12. Select Local Machine (recommended) and click Next.

13. Select Place all certificates in the following store.

14. Click Browse, select Trusted Root Certification Authorities and click OK.

15. Click Next and then click Finish.

Alternatively

1. The certificate is stored in the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adaptiva\server\certificates.cloudui_public_cert

2. The data can be saved into a UTF-8 formatted text file with a .crt extension.

3. You can then run the following command to import the certificate:

   Certutil.exe -addstore root "<path>\<servername>.crt"

Test the certificate

1. In your browser, enter the Adaptiva Server name with optional :port - https://<servername>[:port].

2. You will now see the Admin Portal login page.

3. There will now be a lock icon next to the URL

Content Library Location

The Content Library will default to Adaptiva Server installation folder %Path%\Adaptiva\AdaptivaServer\Data\ContentLibrary.

Consider moving the Content Library to a dedicated drive that can be backed up or replicated. It is not supported to use a UNC path. Review this How-To article for instructions on moving the Content Library location.

IMPORTANT: Ensure this drive is backed up or replicated.

Configure SQL Database Best Practices

By default, the installation account is assigned as the owner of the Adaptiva database. SQL best practice is to set the SA account to the owner.

1. In SQL Management Studio, right-click on the adaptiva database and select Properties.

2. Select the Files page. Change the Owner to SA.

3. Select the Options page. Verify the Recovery model is set to Simple.

   NOTE: If the Adaptiva database will be part of a SQL Always On Availability Group, the Recovery model should be set to Full.

Finalize the Workspace ONE Integration

This is only applicable if the Workspace ONE integration was selected.

After a successful installation, return to the Workspace ONE UEM console to complete the integration of the two platforms.

1. Navigate to the Adaptiva settings page (Groups & Settings | All Settings | System | Enterprise Integration | Peer Distribution | Adaptiva) and enter either the name or the internal IP address of the Adaptiva server. This will allow the ACC to communicate with the Adaptiva server on the internal network.

2. Upload the Adaptiva Server certificate so the authentication between the ACC and Adaptiva services is secure. Recall the certificate was saved here: %InstallPath%\Program Files\Adaptiva\AdaptivaServer\data\security\AdaptivaServer.cer.

   

   Certificate Upload
3. Click Save. The system will save the settings and immediately perform a health check to validate communications and then initiate publication of application metadata to the Adaptiva Server.

   

   Health Check

(Optional) Reduce SQL permissions

To remove SQL sysadmin access from the account

1. Stop the AdaptivaServer service.

2. In SQL Management Studio, select the ConfigMgr database and click New Query, enter the following command:

   CREATE ROLE db_executer\
   GRANT EXECUTE TO db_executer

3. Click Execute.

4. Repeat the above step against the Adaptiva database.

5. Expand Security | Logins folder, right-click the account used for installation and select Properties.

6. Select the Server Roles page and uncheck the server role: sysadmin.

7. Select User Mapping.

8. In the Users mapped to this login section, select the adaptiva database, and under the database role membership, select the following roles:

   db_datareader
   db_datawriter
   db_ddladmin
   db_executer

9. In the Users mapped to this login section, select the ConfigMgr database, and under the database role membership, de-select the db_owner role, and select the following roles:

   db_datareader
   db_datawriter
   db_ddladmin
   db_executer

   

   Login Properties
10. Click OK when complete.

11. Start the AdaptivaServer service.
