Click Add License and browse to the location where license file (xxx-xxxx.dlv) is copied and install it.

Setting up the web site for HTTPS

Setting up the web site for HTTPS

Generally it is recommended that you set security for your UC Analytics web site. The steps for configuring Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) for a site generally include the following:

1
Get an appropriate certificate.
2
Create an HTTPS binding on a site.
3
Optionally, configure TLS/SSL options by making TLS/SSL a requirement.
4
Test by making a request to the site.

First you must obtain a web server certificate. For information about how to install an Internet Server Certificate (IIS 7.0) see the following article:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731977(v=ws.10)

After the certificate is obtained, you must install it. Now you can configure the https binding and the TLS/SSL options. Use the procedure that follows.

To add the https binding and configure the TLS/SSL options
1
Open IIS Manager.
2
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node in the tree and select the Default Web Site.
3
In the Actions pane, click Bindings.
4
In the Site Bindings dialog box, click Add.
5
In the Add Site Binding dialog box, add the binding information including the certificate and click OK.
6
In Features View at the UC Analytics application level, double-click TLS/SSL Settings.
7
On the TSL/SSL Settings page, select Require TLS/SSL.
8
In the Client certificates area, select Ignore.
9
In the Actions pane, click Apply.

To open the web site, enter the following address in the browser:
https://<ServerName>/Analytics/

About administration settings

If you are a product administrator, you can configure UC Analytics at the following location:

http://<ServerName>/Analytics/

Click the gear icon on the home page side bar to access Admin Settings.

Before you begin to use UC Analytics to gather and analyze information, you must specify settings that determine what data is collected (data sources) and when it is collected. Depending on the data sources that you configure, UC Analytics can collect different types of data.

You configure classifications to identify the domains that are internal to your organization, to configure call classifications for Skype for Business/Lync and Cisco, and to set thresholds for quality metrics for the different platforms. You can specify whether insights should use the time zone set in each user profile or you can set a global time zone setting for all users.

In the Admin Settings, you also configure security to control which users can see data in which insights. For example, you can specify security settings which determine whether specific users can see detailed or aggregate data for the Exchange messages and Skype for Business/Lync data.
