• Server — Enter the database server hostname (NetBIOS name, FQDN, or IP address) with the instance name or non-standard port, if applicable, in one of the following formats:

  • No named instance, use [SQLHostName], e.g. NT-SQL02
  • Named instance, use [SQLHostName][SQLInstanceName], e.g. NT-SQL02\Netwrix
  • No named instance with non-standard port, use [SQLHostName],[PortNumber], e.g. NT-SQL02,72
  • Named instance with non-standard port, use [SQLHostName][SQLInstanceName],[PortNumber], e.g. NT-SQL02\Netwrix,72

• Database — Enter the name of the existing database

• Authentication — Select the Database service account type from the drop-down menu. Then enter the account information in the User Name and Password fields.

  • For Windows Authentication — User Name format must be [DOMAIN][username] , e.g. NWXTECH\ad.bruce

NOTE: The Server and Database information are available in the Enterprise Auditor Console in the Settings > Storage node, and will be auto-populated if installing the Access Information Center on the same server as Enterprise Auditor. The Database settings can be modified after installation. See the Database Page topic for additional information.

Step 6 – On the Configure Web Server page, you can choose between the default port and a custom port on which the application will be accessible. To change the port, enter a new port number in the field. When the port is set as desired, click Next.

Step 7 – On the Ready to install page, click Install to begin the process.

Step 8 – Once the installation has successfully completed, click Finish to exit the wizard.

The installation wizard placed an Netwrix Access Information Center icon on the desktop. Now proceed to the First Launch topic for next steps.
