Introduction

The web client is installed on the Internet Information Services (IIS) web server which allows access to Change Auditor data using a standard or mobile browser. Similar to the Windows client, you can use the web client to run searches and reports on the data collected by Change Auditor, and create custom search queries. In addition, you can display the search results in a timeline and create custom shared overviews which can then be shared with other users interested in viewing the selected Change Auditor data.

Deployment requirements

For a successful deployment, ensure that your environment meets the minimum system requirements. For information about system requirements, see the Change Auditor Release Notes.

Install web client

* 
NOTE: The web client requires that IIS is installed on an application server. The following procedure assumes that IIS is already installed.

For more information about installing the default configuration of IIS, see the Microsoft website, such as: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692294(WS.10).aspx.

* 
NOTE: To ensure privacy and data integrity when using the web client Quest suggests that you set up SSL on the required IIS Server. See the following documentation for details:
•
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/manage/configuring-security/how-to-set-up-ssl-on-iis#iis-manager
•
https://www.ssl.com/how-to/redirect-http-to-https-with-windows-iis-10/
Install the web client:
1
On the IIS web server, browse to the folder where the Change Auditor package was downloaded, and run the Quest Change Auditor Web Client (x64).msi file to open the Change Auditor Web Client Setup wizard.
2
On the Welcome screen, click Next.
3
On the Select Installation Folder screen, click Next to use the default location. Use Browse to specify a different location, then click Next.
4
From the Internet Information Services screen, you can enter a website name for the web client and change the default port for the website.
* 
IMPORTANT: Select a unique port for the website to avoid conflicts with other IIS applications (for example, SharePoint uses the default port 80; therefore, the IIS website for the web client must use a different port). If a conflicting port is specified, attempting to start the web client displays either an ‘HTTP 404 Not Found’ or ‘Page cannot be displayed’ error.
5
On the Coordinator screen, select the coordinator for which data is to be made available through the web client. The drop-down menu displays a list of coordinators available.
* 
NOTE: If the web client is not a member of the domain and the coordinator cannot be detected (that is, it is not displayed or listed in the drop-down list), enter the IP address or server domain name of the coordinator to use.
6
Specify the authentication method to use to make Active Directory requests.
•
Select Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL) to use Kerberos or NTLM.
•
Select Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to use certificates.
* 
IMPORTANT: If you choose SSL, please see the Change Auditor Install Guide for important guidelines.
* 
NOTE: When making Active Directory requests, credentials and message content are encrypted for both authentication methods.
7
Click Install.
8
Click Finish to exit the wizard.
9
After the web client is successfully installed, click Close.
Add accounts to Change Auditor security groups:

Once the web client is installed, you must add all the user accounts who will be using it to one of the following security groups depending on the level of access required.

•
Users who require access to the web client should be added to the ChangeAuditor Operators - <InstallationName> Group. Users added to this group can view Shared Overviews and run searches.
•
Users requiring access to the Shared Overviews Administration page in the web client must be added to the ChangeAuditor Administrators - <InstallationName> Group.
Members of this group can also manage shared searches in the web client.
•
Users who only need access to view Shared Overviews should be added to the ChangeAuditor Web Shared Overviews Users - <InstallationName> Group.
Start the web client:
1
Open your web browser and enter the URL of the web application server.
http://<Web Server Host Name>/ChangeAuditor
* 
NOTE: If you specified a different default port (other than 80) on the Internet Information Services screen of the setup wizard, you must also enter the default port specified:

http://<Web Server Host Name>:<Port>/ChangeAuditor

2
When the web client is started, log on by entering the user name (<Domain>\<UserName>) and password of an authorized Active Directory account.
* 
NOTE:  
•
By default you only have 3 attempts to log on to the web client. Once locked out you will need to wait 15 minutes before you can try to log on again.
•
Selecting the Remember Me check box will retain your <Domain>\<UserName> on subsequent sessions.
3
Click Log In.
The web client opens, displaying the Overview page.

 

* 
NOTE: Upgrading the web client
After you have upgraded the web client, you may need to reload the Change Auditor web pages from the web server (CTRL-F5 for IE, Chrome ,or Firefox) to ensure you are seeing the most up-to-date changes made to style components within the web client (for example, icons, text or images). See the documentation for your browser for further details.
