Install CMS UI on the Same Machine that Runs the UCMDB Server

Note  

  • The installation directory must not contain spaces, and can use only English letters (a-z), digits (0-9), the hyphen sign ('-'), and the underscore sign (_).
  • CMS UI should not be installed on the same machine that runs the UCMDB server if you want the CMS UI to work with multiple UCMDB Servers (as described in Configure Multiple UCMDB Servers). Rather, you should install the CMS UI on a separate machine.

Important HTTP Protocol is disabled by default, and embedded CMS UI is no longer accessible with the HTTP protocol. However, if necessary, you can still enable HTTP communications by adding the following settings into the <UCMDB installation folder>\conf\esapi\ESAPI.properties file, and then restart the UCMDB Server:

HttpUtilities.SecureSession=false
HttpUtilities.ForceSecureCookies=false

If the settings already exist, modify the value to False, and then restart the UCMDB Server.

Important The latest version of CMS UI works only with the latest released version of UCMDB server.

  1. Unzip the file CMS_UI-<display_version_number>-embedded.zip to an accessible location.
  2. Stop the UCMDB server.
  3. Go to the folder where you extracted the content and copy the file ucmdb-browser.war to the UCMDB server in the folder %UCMDB-Server%\deploy\, overriding the existing file.

    Note %UCMDB-Server% is the UCMDB server root folder. For example: C:\UCMDB\UCMDBServer.

  4. Start the UCMDB server.

  5. After starting the UCMDB server, open the CMS UI with the following URL:

    https://<UCMDB_server_name>:8443/ucmdb-browser
