Not available in SaaS. The Management Tool is only installed on-premises and in self-hosted deployments.
Before running the installer, complete the Management Tool prerequisites — IIS, .NET Framework, certificate, and HTTPS binding must be in place.
Install the Management Tool
The Management Tool setup wizard's Requirements screen — confirms IIS, .NET, and certificate prerequisites are in place before installation begins.
1
Run the installer
Run the
Syteca_ManagementTool.exe installation file. The Setup Wizard opens — click Next on the Welcome page.2
Accept the EULA
Read the End-User License Agreement carefully, then click I Agree.
3
Configure the connection
On the Connection Settings page, fill in both fields, then click Next:
- Server — the name or IP address of the computer where the Application Server is installed.
- URL — the name of the IIS folder for the Management Tool. The default is
Syteca, and this folder name becomes part of the URL used to open the Management Tool.
4
Choose the install location
On the Choose Install Location page, click Browse to change the Destination Folder if needed, then click Next.
5
Select whether Syteca Exposure Management Portal is to be installed along with Syteca MT
On the **Syteca Endpoint Exposure Management **page, do the following and then click Next:
- Select the Install Exposure Management Portal option to enable the Portal installation.
- In the IIS Requirements section, the wizard checks for URL Rewrite and HttpPlatformHandler modules.
- Yellow triangle icons indicate missing components: click the links on the page to install each, then click Refresh.
- Green checkmark icons indicate satisfied prerequisites.
- Enter credentials of any Syteca user with full administrative privileges (the member of the Administrators group).
6
Define Syteca Exposure Management Portal settings
On the Syteca Exposure Management Portal Settings page, do the following and then click Install:
- Enter the gPRC port that will be used for connection between the components.
- Enter the portal host. It is recommended to use the name of the machine on which the Management Tool and Portal are being installed. If the field is left empty, the Server hostname will be used.
- Review the displayed thumbprint and verify that it matches the thumbprint displayed during the Server installation.
7
Finish
Wait for the Installing page to complete, then click Close. The Management Tool now appears as an application in the Default Web Site (or any other site with an
https connection) in IIS Manager. The Exposure Management Portal appears as the SytecaEEM application.8
Open it
