Preparing for Installation

The setup program prompts you for the following information during installation:

Web server detailsThe Cisco ICS server uses a web server for web console access. During installation, you can select an existing IIS or Apache web server installation. If you select Apache and an Apache 2.x web server is not already installed, the setup program can install one automatically. Decide the web port you want to use, whether you want to use SSL, and which type of website (default or virtual) to use if you are installing on an IIS web server.

Proxy server detailsIf a proxy server handles Internet traffic on your network, configure proxy server information, including the proxy server username and password. This information is necessary if you need to download the latest components, including OPACLs and OPSigs, from the Trend Micro update source. You can enter proxy server information either during installation or at a later time through the web console.

Root account username and passwordTo prevent unauthorized access to the web console and to uninstall the Cisco ICS server program, establish a root account. For more information, see Managing Administrator Accounts, page 9-5.

Cisco ICS licenseObtain a license file from Cisco to install Cisco ICS. If you do not have a license file, you can register for one during installation or online at the following website: http://www.cisco.com/CICS/registration/regnow


Note For generating reports, Cisco ICS requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and Microsoft Data Access Component 2.8. If these are not installed on the computer, the setup program can install them during server installation, or you can install them at a later time from the Cisco ICS CD-Rom. For more information, see About Outbreak Management Reports, page 8-1.


Installing Cisco ICS

Before you start, verify that the computer on which you will install Cisco ICS meets the system requirements. For more information, see Minimum System Requirements, page 1-6.

To install Cisco ICS, follow these steps:


Step 1 Double-click the Setup.exe file.

The setup program opens.

Step 2 Click Next.

The Software License Agreement window appears.

Step 3 Read the license carefully.

Step 4 Click Yes to accept the agreement.

The setup program begins collecting information about the computer. If the operating system on your computer is not Windows 2000 Server with Service Pack 3 or later or Windows 2003, a prompt appears notifying you that installation cannot continue.


Note When you run the setup program on your computer, the minimum acceptable screen resolution is 800 x 600.


Step 5 Click OK. One of the following appears.

Web server windowThe computer has the required software components to use the Cisco ICS reporting feature. Skip to Step 8.

A promptThe computer does not have the required software components to use the Cisco ICS reporting feature. If you do not install the components, Cisco ICS cannot generate reports and you cannot perform outbreak log queries for an outbreak management task. To install the components, click Yes. A confirmation message appears.

Step 6 If you want to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1, do the following:

a. Click Yes.

A license agreement window appears.

b. Read the agreement carefully.

c. Click I agree.

d. Click Install.

The installer completes the .NET installation. A confirmation prompt appears.

e. Click OK.

The Web server window appears.

Step 7 If you want to install the Microsoft Data Access Components, do the following:

a. Click OK.

A license agreement window appears.

b. Read the agreement carefully.

c. Check the check box to accept the agreement.

d. Click Next.

The installer completes the Data Access component installation. A confirmation prompt appears.

e. Click Finish.

f. Click Close.

Step 8 Choose one of the following radio buttons to install Cisco ICS on a web server:

Install Cisco ICS on the IIS serverThis radio button is active only if a Windows 2000 IIS 5.0 or Windows 2003 IIS 6.0 web server is already installed on the computer.

Install Cisco ICS on Apache web server 2.0Install on any existing Apache 2.0 web server. If an Apache server version 2.x is not installed, the setup program installs version 2.0.54 automatically.


Note See your Microsoft IIS and Apache web server documentation for information about server configuration, security issues, and so forth.


Step 9 Click Next.

The Server Information window appears.

Step 10 Configure the following information:

Server informationClick one of the following:

Domain NameVerify the target server domain name. You can also use the server fully qualified domain name (FQDN) if necessary. We recommend this option if Cisco ICS obtains a dynamically assigned IP address, such as from a DHCP server.

IP AddressVerify that the target server IP address is correct.


Tip If the server has multiple network interface cards (NICs), use a NIC IP address instead of the domain name or FQDN.


IIS websiteIf you elected to install Cisco ICS on an IIS server, select one of the following in the IIS website section:

IIS default websiteInstall as an IIS default website (in the IIS default website folder).

IIS virtual websiteInstall as an IIS virtual website (in the IIS virtual website folder).

Port NumberEnter a port to use as the server listening port. The Cisco ICS server address is the following:

http://{server_name}:{port number}/CICS

Secure Socket LayerYou also have the option of enabling Secured Socket Layer (SSL) security:

a. Check the Enable SSL check box.

b. Enter the number of years to keep the SSL certificate valid (the default is 3 years).

c. Enter an SSL port number. If you enable SSL, this port number is the server listening port. The Cisco ICS server address is then as follows:

https://{server_name}:{port number}/CICS


Tip Enable SSL to enhance security between the computer accessing the web console and the Cisco ICS server.


Installation DirectoryTo change the target directory location, click Browse and select or create a new folder.

Step 11 Click Next.

A confirmation window appears displaying the Cisco ICS web console address.

Step 12 Verify that the port number is correct. Cisco ICS uses the same TCP port number that your HTTP server is using. Setup automatically retrieves this port number and displays it on this window.

Step 13 Click OK.

The Proxy Server window appears.

Step 14 If your organization uses a proxy server, enter the required information such as the proxy address, port, and your username and password for proxy server authentication.

Step 15 Verify that the information you provided on the window is correct. The Cisco ICS server uses this information to connect to the update source and download updated components, such as OPACLs and OPSigs.

Step 16 Click Next.

The Root Administrator Account Login Credentials window appears.

Step 17 Enter a username and password that serves as the root account. The root account manages all other accounts and is required for the first web console access and for uninstallation. The root account username cannot be changed hereafter; however, you can modify the password from the web console.

Step 18 Click Next.

The Product Activation window appears.

Step 19 If you do not have a Product Activation Key, click one of the following to register with Cisco:

Registered UsersIf you already registered with Cisco and obtained a CCO username and password.

Non-registered UsersIf you do not have a CCO account.

Step 3 Enter the root account credentials.

Step 4 Click OK.

The uninstaller program begins removing Cisco ICS. When uninstallation is complete, a prompt appears.

Step 5 Click OK.


Uninstallation Notes

Note the following before you uninstall Cisco ICS:

If the Cisco ICS setup program installed Apache 2.0.54 automatically, the uninstaller removes it. If an Apache or IIS installation existed on the machine before Cisco ICS installation, the uninstaller does not remove it.

If a backup of the database exists in the default backup folder (Program Files\Cisco Systems\CICS\backup), it is preserved.

OPACLs remain active on devices until their expiration date, even if you uninstall Cisco ICS without deactivating the OPACLs. To prevent OPACLs from continuing to block traffic, stop active tasks or active OPACLs through the web console before uninstallation. For more information, see Viewing a Summary of All Outbreak Management Tasks, page 6-10, and Stopping an Outbreak Management Task, page 6-13.
