preinstallation checklist

Task Check when complete
Install and configure your SQL Server database. ?
Create a Service Account. Make sure the service account works on each machine where the Scanner and Server are going to be installed. See Required user account information during installation and configuration. ?
Attach the service account with appropriate privileges to access the SQL Server database. ?
Obtain the License information from the My HCLSoftware (MHS) portal.
Note:
To get a license, you need a machine fingerprint key. You can get this either from the Configuration Wizard during installation or by using the standalone utility described in Generating a machine fingerprint for AppScan Enterprise.
?
Set up your LDAP accounts. Identify your users and groups. For information about IIS components needed for AppScan Enterprise installation, see KB0011429 ?
If you are upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher, read Replacing Jazz Team Server with WebSphere Liberty - Frequently asked questions before you begin upgrading. ?
If you are upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher and need to migrate Jazz Team Server users to use the Liberty authentication method, export a .csv file of users by using the cd <install-dir>\Appscan Enterpise\JazzTeamServer\server\ repotools-jts.bat -exportUsers toFile=C:\users.csv repositoryURL=https://<hostname>:9443/jts before you begin upgrading to v9.0.1 or higher. Then follow the steps that are documented in Configuring a basic user registry for the Liberty profile to import the users into Liberty. ?
If you don't have a server certificate, create one from your certificate authority to use with Liberty. See Using a certificate in your certificate store with Liberty. ?
Set up security on SQL Server. On the Enterprise edition, enable Transparent Data Encryption (TDE). On the Standard version, use Encrypting File System (EFS). ?
Export your server certificate from IIS as a .pfx file, and give it a password. It contains information that you need to use during configuration to ensure AppScan Enterprise works with WebSphere® Application Server Liberty Core. If you don't have a server certificate, create one from your certificate authority. ?
If you plan to import scan templates from AppScan® Standard, disable Enhanced Security on Windows Server 2014 so that AppScan® Enterprise can log in to applications. See Disabling Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration on Windows Server 2014. ?
Download the installation media from MHS. ?
Create a dedicated SQL Server user account for AppScan Enterprise. Don't use the default 'sa' account. ?
Verify that the password for the SQL Server user account isn't expired and isn't subject to a password expiration policy. ?
