EFT Server can create Sites that use an ODBC database for authentication.
To create ODBC database-authenticating Site
The Site Setup wizard appears after you complete the Server Setup wizard; otherwise, in EFT Administrator, click Configuration > Create New Site, or right-click anywhere in the Server's tree, then click Create New Site.
Do one of the following:
To create a PCI DSS HS-enabled Site, refer to Creating a PCI DSS-Enabled Site
To create a standard Site, click Use standard security settings.
Click Next. The Site Setup wizard Welcome page appears.
In the Site Name box, type a distinguishing name for the Site. MySite appears by default, but you can change this to anything you want.
In the Listening IP box, select a specific IP address or keep the default of All Incoming.
Click Next. The Site Root Folder page appears.
In the Site root box, click Browse to specify the root folder, or keep the default.
In the Additional options area, select the check boxes as needed:
Select the Create UNIX-style subfolders check box to create Usr, Pub, Bin, and Incoming folders with appropriate permissions under the root folder. This is only necessary if you are trying to mimic a typical default *nix EFT Server setup.
Select the Automatically assign home folders to newly created users to automatically create a user folder under \Site Root\Usr\ when a new user is added.
Both check boxes are selected by default. |
Click Next. The User Authentication page appears.
In the Authentication method list, click ODBC Authentication.
Click Next. The ODBC Authentication page appears.
In the Specify the data source box, type a connection string for the ODBC database. See Using a DSN-Less Connection with ODBC Authentication for details of creating the connection string, if necessary.
Select the Encrypt passwords check box to encrypt passwords stored in the database.
In the User list refresh interval list, click the down arrow to select how often you want EFT Server to check the database for new users.
You change the refresh interval later in the Authentication Options dialog box. |
Click Next. The Perimeter Network Security page appears.
Specify whether to connect the Site to EFT Server's DMZ Gateway.
If you choose to connect to DMZ Gateway, specify its IP address and port, then click Test Connection. If the DMZ Gateway is properly configured, the Test is successful. If the test is not successful, click and I'm not using the DMZ Gateway configure it later.
If you have not yet installed or configured DMZ Gateway, click I'm not using the DMZ Gateway - or I'll configure it later.
Click Next. The Connection Protocols page appears.
Select one or more check boxes for the protocol(s) that this Site will use to connect to EFT Server and specify the port number for each protocol.
Click SSL options to define the allowed SSL versions and ciphers or skip this step and leave the defaults.
Click SSL certs to specify the SSL certificate to use for this Site. The SSL Certificate Options page appears.
To create a certificate, click Create certificate and follow the prompts in the wizard. (Refer to Creating Certificates for details, if necessary.)
To use an existing certificate:
In the Certificate box, type the path to the .crt file or click the open icon to find and select it.
In the Private key box, type the path to the .key file or click the open icon to find and select it.
In the Certificate passphrase and Confirm passphrase boxes, type and confirm the passphrase for the certificate pair.
Click Next to return to the Protocols page.
If you do not enable SSL, you will not be able to connect to EFT Server from a remote EFT Administrator. See SSL Certificate-Based Login, Creating Certificates, Importing a Certificate into the Trusted Certificate Database, and Importing Certificates from Microsoft IIS 5 for information regarding certificates. If you are using Secure Ad Hoc Transfer, you need to configure remote access to EFT Server. |
If you choose SFTP, the SFTP options are configured automatically. Optionally, click SFTP options and SFTP keys to configure a different SFTP key pair, encryption algorithms, and MAC algorithms. (All algorithms are selected by default.)
If you choose AS2 over HTTP/S, click Configure to specify your AS2 identifier and certificate information. The certificate that you specified in step 10 is specified by default. You can keep this default, click the open icons to specify a different certificate pair, or click Create certificate to create a new certificate pair, then click OK.
Click Next. The Site Setup Completed page appears.
You are offered the option of continuing to the User Creation wizard or quitting the Site Setup wizard. Click an option, then click Finish.
If you chose Run New User Creation wizard, the User Creation wizard Welcome page appears.
You can run the Site Setup wizard again at any time to create additional Sites. You can view and modify Site configuration in EFT Administrator.
