5 Hub Installation
5.1 Hub Pre-Installation
The Intel Unite application needs an exemption in the Hub firewall to check in and communicate with the
Enterprise Server, since the Hub needs to be able to locate and check in with the Enterprise Server.
When you run the Hub installer, it will prompt you for server connection details and give you the option of
bypassing the manual lookup (named Specify Server in the install process) in favor of retrieving
information from the DNS Service Record. When the Hub installer is run, it will edit the ServerConfig.xml.
Depending on the method chosen for PIN look up, you need to know if you will use the Automatically Find
Server or Specify Server selection when executing the installation.
If you know that the DNS Service record exists, then you can select Automatically Find Server, if unsure,
use the Specify Server option (manual lookup), where you would need to know the hostname for the
Enterprise Server.
If you have edited the ServerConfig.xml with the public key (see next section Public Key), you are not
required to input the key again for the Client and Hub installers.
Note: If a server is defined in the ServerConfig.xml, it will take precedence over the DNS Service Record.
5.1.1 Public Key
The public key is optional; what it does is specify how the Hub or Client will talk to the Enterprise Server. If
left blank or unspecified, the Hub and the Client will validate the root of trust. If the application does not
accept the certificate it will prompt for the user.
The public key would be used when you execute the installation of the Hub and the Client. You will need
this key when running the installers for the Hub and the Client. To obtain the public key, go to:
https://yourservername/unite/ccservice.asmx
In the URL bar, click the lock and view the certificate information. Go to details, click show all, scroll down
the field to “Public Key”, then click public key to view. Optionally, you may copy the value out there and
paste it into the ServerConfig.xml file.
Make sure you remove the spaces from the string after you paste in the ServerConfig file. If you have edited
the ServerConfig.xml with the public key, you are not required to input the key again for the Client and Hub
installers. See Appendix B for an Example of ServerConfig.xml.
