Archive Manager for Files 8.5 - ArchiveWeb Guide

ArchiveWeb Setup

ArchiveWeb is configured and ready for use right after installation. No user action is required. However, should the need arise, default configuration can be adjusted in Configuration tool.

The Configuration tool is available on the ArchiveWeb server under <installdir>/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/PAM/PAMConfig/PamConfig.exe. Its ArchiveWeb tab list available configuration options. (For more information on the Multi-factor authentication tab see the section Multi-factor authentication (MFA).)

Specify the properties as described below:

Tenant service location - URL for MultiTenantWS web service

AM for Exchange service - URL for ExchangePAMWS web service if Archive Manager for Exchange is installed.

AM for Files service - URL for FilePAMWebService web service if Archive Manager for Files is installed.

Search service location - URL for PamSearch web service

Search cache folder - user's temporary storage folder to store e.g. messages downloaded from Exchange server for preview functionality

Export folder - folder where exported files (PST export, ZIP export) are stored (download link points to this folder)

Export folder auto-cleanup [days] - files older than the specified number of days will be deleted from the Export folder.

Export one version per document during PST export - indicates whether to export one version per document during PST export

Auditing server name & port - machine where auditing component is installed

Log-off time - time in minutes to log off when inactive

Show offline server caption - check to show [OFFLINE] suffix for decommissioned servers in servers' list if Archive Manager for Files is installed.

Hide location server - unchecked by default; indicating whether to hide Location Server Name from user's mailbox displayed in Mailboxes tree-view; if not checked, Location Server Name will be displayed as a suffix to user's email, e.g. administrator@[VMMVC5]

Check linked mailboxes - checking whether currently logging user has a linked mailbox associated. When unchecked, the entire login process can be accelerated because no additional Active Directory search is performed

Check trusted domains - checking trusted domains and reading information from trusted relationships. When unchecked the entire login process can be accelerated because no additional reads (from trusted domains) are performed

Use cache for views - when checked, all grid source data are cached after first load. Then all operation on grid that do not change the data will be performed quicker

Use Single Sign-On - when this option is checked, it will set Single Sign-On feature for ArchiveWeb login.

Multi-factor Authentication

ArchiveWeb supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) for O365 user accounts. Setting up MFA is a two-step process:

1.Create a new application in the Azure portal.

2.Configure ArchiveWeb with the Archive Manager configuration tool.


Create a new application in the Azure portal

ArchiveWeb requires a specific Azure site to be created that is used to return an authentication token back to the ArchiveWeb after a user is authenticated via Microsoft portal.

1.Login to your Azure Portal using your administrator credentials (https://portal.azure.com). If your account gives you access to more than one tenant, select your account in the top right corner, and set your portal session to the Azure AD tenant that you want.

2.In the left-hand navigation pane, select the Azure Active Directory service, and then select App registrations > New registration. The App registrations page appears.

3.Click New registration. The Register an Application page appears.

b.Supported account types - Select the account type you would like your application to support that best meets your company policy.

c.Redirect URI - from the application type drop down select Web. In the URI field enter the ArchiveWeb URI where the user will be redirected after multi-factor authentication (eg. https://<fullservername>/ArchiveWeb/Login/Login/Login)

info

NOTE: The HTTPS protocol is required for MFA to work with O365. To ensure the HTTPS can be used, follow the steps below;

1.On the ArchiveWeb server, open the IIS Management Console.

2.Expand the server node and then expand the Sites node.

3.Select Default Web Site and right-click to open the context menu. Then select Edit Bindings. The Site Bindings window opens.

4.Click Add. The Add Site Bindings window opens.

6.Click OK to save the https site binding.

7.Restart the IIS service from the server node and then close the IIS Management console.

5.Click Register. Azure AD assigns a unique application (client) ID to your app, and the application's Overview page opens.

b.Client ID - enter the Client Id that you saved from the Azure application registration steps.

c.Client Secret - enter the Client Secret that you saved from the Azure application registration steps.

7.Click Apply.

info

IMPORTANT:

When at least one user in an organization has MFA set, the Organization, Client ID and Client Secret should be set in Multi-factor authentication tab as a readiness exercise.

If only a few users in your organization have MFA activated, the Use Multi-factor Authentication check box should stay unchecked. The settings in the Multi-factor authentication tab will persist when the Use Multi-factor Authentication check box is unchecked. The users who have MFA activated will be prompted to enter the credentials (user email and password) and then they will be redirected to the Microsoft site where the user has to authenticate again. After a successful authentication by Microsoft, the user will be redirected back to ArchiveWeb.

When all users accounts in an organization have MFA activated, the Use Multi-factor Authentication check box can be selected. This will allow ArchiveWeb to use multi-factor authentication for all users that log in to ArchiveWeb. Users will be prompted to enter only the login email address and they will be redirected to the Microsoft login form to finish the login process.
