Choose these install instructions if you want to install the Aptify user controls and the ASP.NET sample site.

1. Create a new domain account or identify an existing domain with a valid license account to use on the e-Business server.
   • This is the user account that the e-Business server will use to communicate with the Aptify database server.
   • See e-Business 5.5.2 Server User Account for more information.
   • For DMZ installations outside of your organization's domain, see Installing e-Business 5.5.2 in a DMZ Environment.
      
2. Add the designated domain account as a trusted user in Aptify, with the appropriate privileges.
   • Note that this user must be assigned a valid user license to successfully communicate with the database server.
   • You must link this account to an Employees record.
   • The specific permission set required for the e-Business user depends on the type of user activity that will be conducted on your website. For testing and development environments that use Aptify sample data, add the e-Business user to the Users group.
   • See Creating User Accounts.
      
3. Using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio, back up the APTIFY database before continuing.
4. Log in to the Web server that will host the e-Business site with an account that is an administrator on that server.
   • If using Windows Integrated Security (i.e., using a trusted user based on Windows credentials) when installing the e-Business site, you must be logged in as a trusted user with system administrative privileges (in other words, your user needs to be in the computer's Administrators group).
      
5. Install the Aptify Windows Desktop client on the e-Business server. See Installing the Aptify Desktop Client.
6. Download the APTIFY_552_eBiz_FULLSETUP installation ZIP file to a folder on the computer and unzip its contents.
   • Run the installation program locally on the computer; do not run it over the network.
      
7. Browse to the location of the installation files and right-click on the Setup application (look for the Setup file with the Aptify "A" icon). SelectRun as Administrator to launch the installation program.
   • The Run as Administrator option bypasses the server's User Access Control (UAC) for the duration of the installation.
      
8. When prompted, enter login information for the database server, specifying an account with system administrator privileges (such as sa).
   • If you are logging in as a trusted user based on Windows credentials, select Use Windows Integrated Security.
   • If you are logging in as an untrusted user using SQL server security, select Specify a User Name and Password. 
      
9. Click OK to continue.

10. Review the information on the Welcome screen and click Next to continue.
    
    

    Note

    The database server must have Aptify 5.5.1 or later installed prior to installing e-Business 5.5.2. The installer will check the database's version, and you will be unable to proceed with the installation unless Aptify meets this requirement. These instructions assume you are installing on a system running Aptify 5.5.2 or later. If running on Aptify 5.5.1, contact Aptify Technical Support for additional instructions.

     

     

11. Review the set of requirements to install e-Business. If your environment does not meet one or more of the specified requirements, clickCancel to abort the installation. Otherwise, click Next to continue.
    • See e-Business 5.5.2 Server Requirements and e-Business 5.5.2 Server User Account for more information on the e-Business requirements.

Create a new domain account or identify an existing domain with a valid license account to use on the e-Business server.

• This is the user account that the e-Business server will use to communicate with the Aptify database server.
• See "e-Business Server User Account" on page 11 for more information.
• For DMZ installations outside of your organization's domain, see "Installing e-Business in a DMZ Environment" on page 63.
