Step 2: Enter configuration information.

Use the Initial Configuration Utility to configure the Administrative Server.

The Initial Configuration Utility (ICU) configures the following:

enables the services you select for the Administrative Server.
creates an MSSData directory under which site-specific content is stored.
generates cryptographic keys and self-signed certificates for the servlet runner and Administrative Server.
sets the administrative password.
sets a port value for the Administrative Server in configuration files.

Run the ICU.

In the mss folder, go to the utilities/bin folder. Run the Initial Configuration Utility.

On Windows, the ICU is named InitialConfigurationUtililty.exe.
On Linux, the ICU is named InitialConfigurationUtililty.

Enter or verify your configuration information.

Installation Directory: Confirm the location where the Administrative Server was installed. If the default value is not correct, browse to the correct location.
MSS Server Services: Select the services you want to enable. You must have an MSS Server service running on one machine at your site. If entitled, you can optionally choose to install the Security Proxy server.
Volume Purchase Agreement number: Optional. Enter the Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA) number. You can modify the VPA number later in the Administrative WebStation.
Servlet runner ports: Accept the default entries or enter the port numbers that the servlet runner will use for HTTP and HTTPS connections. The default port number for HTTP is 80 and the default for HTTPS is 443.
Security Proxy server ports: If you are entitled and chose to install the Security Proxy, specify the port numbers for the Security Proxy. The default listening port is 3000. The default monitor port is 8080. You can change Security Proxy settings after installation using the Security Proxy Wizard.
Administration password: Enter a password. Use this password to open the Administrative WebStation and to administer Metering and Terminal ID management (if installed). You can create different passwords for each server later.
Server Names for URLs and Certificates: The information that you enter on this and the following panel enable you to create self-signed certificates that will be used to make secure TLS connections to the Administrative Server and Security Proxy after installation. Enter a DNS name or IP address. The current DNS name is provided, if available. If you want to change the servlet runner certificate later, use the HTTPS Certificate Utility.
Server certificates: organization and locality (optional)

This panel includes additional information for creating certificates.

Organizational Unit: Enter the name of your organizational unit, typically the name of your department or division.

Organization: Enter the name of your organization, typically the legal name of your company or organization.

City or Locality: Enter the full formal name (no abbreviations).

State: Enter the full formal name (no abbreviations).

Country: Provide a two-letter ISO country code, such as US.
Confirm Configuration: Click Next to apply the specified configuration changes.
Configuration summary: A summary of the configuration changes is created in InitalConfigurationUtility.log in the logs directory under the installation directory. Click Done to continue with Step 3: Start Services.
