Installation Requirements

The following requirements must be fulfilled for the installation and operation of enaio webclient:

  • enaio server is installed and launched.
  • The WEB license is registered with enaio server.
  • The 'licence' service is installed. The service manages the WEB license.
  • A technical user for enaio webclient was set up with enaio administrator.

    The technical user is used to log in to the Administration Page and to control access rights to enaio objects.

  • The enaio gateway core service is installed and started.

    enaio gateway is a proxy that is used as a communications interface between the core services. enaio gateway is a prerequisite for displaying the content and details preview, for communication, and for logging in. The server name or the IP of enaio gateway forms part of the URL for enaio webclient in each case. If enaio gateway is installed on the default port '80', the port does not need to be specified. The instructions for configuring enaio gateway can be found in the Administration manual.

    In accordance with specifications for internet communication and protocols, the names of the computer on which enaio gateway is installed may only contain the letters 'a' to 'z', the digits '0' to '9' and the hyphen (see RFC 952 and RFC 1123).

  • The enaio appconnector core service is installed and started.

    enaio appconnector is a communication component that enables structured access to enaio server. The instructions for installing and configuring enaio appconnector can be found in the manual of the same name.

Installation Process

Provided that the installation requirements are fulfilled, the administrator simply needs to run the setup in order to install one or multiple enaio webclient applications. The connection to the enaio system and the technical user are specified during the installation process, which means that the administrator can proceed directly with the configuration after the installation is complete.
