4.6
Open for access to Microsoft site for downloading Microsoft Web Deploy
service.
Installation of QuadriDCM requires internet access to a Microsoft site for downloading Microsoft
Web Deploy service.
Alternatively, download from the link below and install it before you continue:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/9/B/89B754A5-56F7-45BD-B0748974FD2039AF/WebDeploy_2_10_amd64_en-US.msi
QuadriDCM requires access to this later during upcoming upgrades. So do not remove this web
deploy service.
4.7
Windows Update
Please run Windows Update, install all updates and if needed restart the server before continuing.
4.8
Active Directory as source for user accounts
During installation of QuadriDCM, you can decide to use Active Directory as source for user
accounts, and not the user account system embedded in QuadriDCM. If you select AD as source for
users, QMM and Novapoint will connect to AD every time necessary. No users from AD will be
stored in the QuadriDCM database and no synchronization between QuadriDCM and AD is
necessary.
If you have decided to use Active Directory as source for user accounts, three issues must be
clarified before the system is ready for use.
4.8.1
Know the connection parameters for AD
To complete the installation you will need to know:
1. Name or IP-address of the server hosting Active Directory
2. Port on the server hosting Active Directory (default is 389)
3. LDAP user, a user in Active directory that has access to browse the content of Active
Directory.
4. Password of the LDAP user
This knowledge is essential to carry out the initial installation and configuration.
4.8.2 Create the group ‘QMM Users’ in AD
QuadriDCM Model Manager is a web-application designed to administer the QuadriDCM installation.
If you have decided to use Active Directory as source for user accounts, you have to create a group
in AD called ‘QMM Users’ and add users that should be able to sign in to QMM. All users in the
QMM Users group will be able to sign in to QMM with their AD credentials.
4.8.3 Clarify which users in AD who should be possible to authorize for QuadriDCM use
Before this QuadriDCM installation can be ready for use there must be possible to authorize selected
users from the specified Active Directory.
It is most likely that the specified AD contains many users that are not candidate for authorization
as QuadriDCM user. To be able to specify a suitable filter on the Active Directory content you should
know how the content of Active Directory is organized.

b) Filter: LDAP search filter as defined in RFC2254
This link
http://help.novapoint.com/doku.php?id=en:np:server:qmm:admin:ldap_parameters:start
contains more info about the parameters.
You may probably have to tweak on this parameters to get the wanted result. Moreover,
even modify the grouping of users in Active directory. Therefore, you may consider
postponing this step until you have finished the installation and initial configuration of
QuadriDCM and configure this in QMM.
Sign in to QMM and select the Admin tab and Ldap Parameters.
4. Specify a password for the user account “admin”.
Specify the password to use for the user account ‘admin’
The Password must be between 8 and 50 characters long and have at least three out of four

Special characters are the following: #!@$%&'()*+,-./;:<>=?_{}|.
Dependent of whether you configure QuadriDCM to use Active Directory or not the use of
this password is slightly different.
a) If user source is ‘QuadriDCM Users’ then this password must be used when you
start up and sign in to QMM as the only account that are authorized to use QMM is
the ‘admin’ account. On some major irreversible actions, like deleting a model this
password must be used to confirm the selected action.
b) If user source is ‘Active Directory’, this password must also be used to confirm
major irreversible action like deleting a model.
5. Please write down the admin-password and deliver the information to the person(s) who are
going to manage the models in this QuadriDCM installation.
