Run the MSS Automated Installer

The Terminal ID Manager Add-On requires an activation file to be installed on the same server as the Administrative Server.

For maximum flexibility and performance, you may want to install the Terminal ID Manager Add-On on a separate machine from the one used by the Administrative Server (where Management and Security Server is installed).

Use the MSS automated installer to place the activation file in the required location.

Follow the steps for installing Terminal ID Manager either on a separate or the same machine:

• To install Terminal ID Manager on a separate machine

• To install Terminal ID Manager on the same machine

Installing Terminal ID Manager on a separate machine

1. Run the Management and Security Server (MSS) automated installer on a different machine from where MSS was initially installed.

   Note

   The Terminal ID Manager activation file must also be on the separate machine.

   For ease of installation, place the activation file, activation.terminal_id_manager-12.8.n.jaw, in the same directory as the automated installer. When you run the installer, the activation file will be placed in the required location.

2. In the early installation panel, select only the Administrative Server. (Leave the Security Proxy unchecked on the separate machine.)

3. When the Initial Configuration Utility panel displays, enable only the Terminal ID Manager service.

4. Check to be sure that the Terminal ID Manager activation file (activation.terminal_id_manager-12.8.n.jaw) is installed on the separate machine in this location:

   C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\MSS\server\web\webapps\tidm\WEB-INF\lib\modules

   If the activation file is not present, copy it from your download location to the ...\tidm\WEB-INF\lib\modules directory on the separate machine.

5. When you return to the automated installer, select the option to Start the server components now.

Next: Configure Terminal ID Manager

Installing Terminal ID Manager on the same machine

If you installed Management and Security Server without selecting Terminal ID Manager, you can run the automated installer again to update the installation to include Terminal ID Manager on the same machine.

1. Run the MSS automated installer to install Terminal ID Manager.

   Note

   The Terminal ID Manager activation file must also be on this machine.

   For ease of installation, place the activation file, activation.terminal_id_manager-12.8.n.jaw, in the same directory as the automated installer. When you run the installer, the activation file will be placed in the required location.

2. On the early installation panel, check that the Terminal ID Manager will be enabled.

3. When the automated installer completes, select the option to Start the server components now.

4. Verify that the Terminal ID Manager activation file is installed:

   a. In the MSS Administrative Console, open About > Activated Products.

   b. In the Product column, look for Terminal ID Management Add-On.

   • If present, the activation file is installed on this machine.
   • If not present, click ACTIVATE NEW, and upload the activation file from your download location.

   Next: Configure Terminal ID Manager
