Overview

You like to install or upgrade one of the products provided from Fortified ID on a Windows server. Installation is done by running a generic powershell script for all applications that uses a properties to define product and account.

Prerequisite

There are some prerequisite before continuing with install/upgrade.

  • Windows server 64-bit with administrator credentials.

  • Download credentials. Contact Fortified ID support for download credentials.

  • Latest version of the Powershell script and property file. Contact Fortified ID support for latest version of files.

Installation

  1. We have the powershell script and property file in folder C:\temp

    1. Powershell script: install_fortifiedid_app.ps1 No changes need to done in the powershell script. All delta data is managed in the property file.

    2. Property file: fortifiedid.properties

  2. Update fortifiedid.properties

    1. Open fortifiedid.properties with a text editor

      1. Change user and access_token with information provided by Fortified ID support. See Prerequisite section

      2. Change INSTALLATION_PATH if needed.

      3. Uncomment the product you like to install and only that product. There is no support to install more than one product at time. Let say you like to install Fortified Password Reset, then the Password Reset section should look like:

        # Password Reset
        APP_LOCATION= ** Check with Fortified ID support for latest or desired version **
        APP_NAME_FOLDER=pwdreset
        APP_NAME=Fortified ID Password Reset
        APP_DESCRIPTION=Fortified Password Reset allows users to reset a forgotten password themselves or on behalf.

        Note. Line 1 above should still be commented.

      4. At the bottom of the file you can decide how much RAM the application will be able to use.

        assignedMemory=1025
        threadStackSize=512
      5. Save file when done

  3. Install the Fortified ID product. In our example Fortified Password Reset.

    1. Open and run an Powershell prompt as administrator

    2. Execute install_fortifiedid_app.ps1

    3. Type Y to continue

    4. Type N to not start service

    5. Installation is complete

  4. Verify installation

    1. Verify service is installed

    2. Verify folders in file system

  5. Now you are ready to start working with your Fortified ID product. Tip: Check out our use cases to get a head start!

Upgrade

Upgrade of an existing installation is done the same way as when you do a clean installation. Same powershell script and property file. See previous section. When uppgradering, two things to notice:

  • The service will be removed an reinstalled. Verify the property file for memory configuration.

  • Folders, /application and /JRE, will be replaced during upgrade. Do not sotre any cusomt data there. The folder called /customer will not be replaced since it contains your customer data.
