Installation
This section describes the steps involved in the basic, initial installation of Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager.
Note Make sure that the Microsoft Windows SNMP service is pre-installed, if an internal gatekeeper component is installed in Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager. Do not install a MySQL database on the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing Manager host server.
Procedure
Step 1 Click the Cisco_Unified_Videoconferencing_Manager_5_0_x_x_x.exe file to start the installation wizard.
Step 2 Click Next in the Introduction window.
Step 3 Choose I accept the terms of the License Agreement in the License Agreement window, and then click Next.
Step 4 Choose the directory in which you want to install the application in the Directory Selection window, and then click Next.
Step 5 Enter the host name URL and Web server port number used by the application. Make sure that the Web server port is not in use by another application, and then click Next.
Step 6 Enter mail server information in the Outgoing Mail Server Information window. To confirm that the email server is functioning, enter an email address and you should receive a test email.
Note If SMTP server fields are left blank, email messages are not sent.
Step 7 Create an administrator account for accessing the application, in the Account Login Information window. With this account, you can access both the Resource Manager and the Network Manager.
Step 8 Choose Enable Single Sign-on (SSO) if it is needed, in the Single Sign-on Settings window.
Using SSO, a user who is logged into the organization domain and then tries to access the Resource Manager Web login window, is authenticated (transparently) according to ADS domain account and password credentials when the user enters the Resource Manager web login window. As long as the user is using Microsoft ADS, there is no request for a username or password.
To enable SSO, it is recommended that host server reside on the local Intranet and the machine address does not contain periods. For more information, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q258063.
