Prerequisites

Following are the requirements you must fulfill for a seamless deployment of Adeptia Connect within your production and the non-production environment.

1. For installation
   1. Set up two databases to host Adeptia Backend and Log database.
   2. The database must be accessible through TCP/IP. The port must be fixed and opened.
   3. Grant CREATE/ALTER/DELETE permissions to the user account for Adeptia Backend and Log database.
   4. If the user account created in MSSQL, then it must use SQL authentication mode.
   5. Access to the database server where Adeptia Backend and Log database tables can be configured using the user account created in the previous step.
   6. Administrator rights on the server where Adeptia application will be installed.
2. Only for Clustering: All AIS nodes (components of the Adeptia application) must have read/write access to RAID shared drive without login credentials.
   • Make sure that the shared folder is encrypted. To know how to encrypt a folder, follow the link:

   • Port 21000 to be opened in all AIS nodes for communication among them. 
3. Setup and configure an internal and external load balancer as per the deployment diagram.
   • The Security certificate to be installed on the internal and external load balancer can be either CA-signed or self-signed, however, we recommend a CA-signed certificate.
4. HTTPS port 443 to be opened for an inbound request to the DMZ from the external environment.
5. HTTP/HTTPS (80/443) port to be opened for the inbound request to the private network from the DMZ.
6. Windows firewall from all instances must be turned OFF.
7. One email account with SMTP address details used for sending notifications from the Adeptia application.
8. Whitelist https://connect.adeptia.com in the firewall for incoming and outgoing traffic for using business applications such as Quickbooks, Salesforce, or any other.  

System Requirements

Before start installing Adeptia Connect, ensure that your computer must meet the following requirements:

 Actual RAM and hard disk space required for running Adeptia Connect depends on:

• Number of services running on a node, and
• Complexity of the services deployed on the node.

The expected data flow and system performance also determine RAM and hard disk requirement.
