Quick Start Guide

This guide leads the reader through the steps to quickly install Identity Manager's bootstrap version.

Prerequisites​

The installation of Identity Manager requires:

If the certificate is named something other than Usercube.pfx, remember to change the name in the Runtime/appsettings.json file too.

Install the Bootstrap Version​

Step 1 – Go on the Netwrix Identity Manager (formerly Usercube) portal and download the artifacts of the expected version.

Extranet Artifacts

Step 2 – Extract from SDK the folder Usercube Bootstrap anywhere on the computer.

Step 3 – Extract the content of Runtime to Usercube Bootstrap.

When extracting Usercube Bootstrap to the root of the computer, it looks like:

Project Directory

Step 4 – Move or copy your certificate inside the Runtime folder.

Step 5 – Create a Sources folder in Usercube Bootstrap.

tip

Remember, if you don't have the Usercube Bootstrap folder or if you don't create the Sources folder, the Path in the Directory connection in the Runtime/appsettings.agent.json must be adapted. Note that you don't need to have a Directory.xlsx file at the location described by this Path for now.

Step 6 – Create a database named Usercube, using the default options.

note

When using a database server other than Microsoft SQL Server or a different database name, remember to change the connection string accordingly, in the Runtime/appsettings.json file and in the future command lines.

Step 7 – Execute the Runtime/Usercube.sql file in the database.

Step 8 – Open a command prompt and deploy the configuration. See the Usercube-Deploy Configuration topic for additional information.

In our example, the command would be, in the Runtime folder:

Code attributes enclosed with <> need to be replaced with a custom value before entering the script in the command line.

./Usercube-Deploy-Configuration.exe -s "<data source=.;Database=Usercube;Integrated Security=SSPI;Min Pool Size=10;encrypt=false;>" -d "<C:/UsercubeBootstrap/Conf>"

Step 9 – Launch the server. See the Usercube-Server topic for additional information.

In our example, the command would be, still in the Runtime folder:

./Usercube-Server.exe

Step 10 – Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000. Authenticate with administrator as a username and the password specified in the Runtime/appsettings.json file, in the Authentication section.

Now you can start using the application.
