Add second site

There is now one site (thylab.local) configured with a DE assigned to it.

Thylab.local ready

As the organisation has merged with a second organisation, Greensafe, we now need to configure Secret Server that there is another site that needs to be managed by Secret Server via a DE. This will be done by:

  1. Defining another site
  2. Install and assign a DE to the greensafe.lab site

Add site

  1. Open the console of the db-server server, login as Alex Foster (afoster) with the password Centr1fy and open the URL using Chrome (you can set Chrome as the default browser) https://sspm.thylab.local/SecretServer and login using the ss-admin account with your set password
  2. Navigate to Administrattion > Setup & System Maintenance > Distributed Engine
  3. Click Add Site
  4. Name the site greensafe.lab
  5. Set the Site Connector to rabbitmq

Add Site

  1. Set the Engine callback Interval to 30 (seconds). This is just for testing/demoing purpose. In production this would be 5 minutes, depending on the organization and the jobs that need to be run in the site.
  2. Click Add Site

Install a DE in the second infrastructure

Now that the second organisation is added as a site, it needs to be provided with a DE, that way Secret Server can communicate over port 443 with the Greensafe infrastructure using the distributed engine. An other reason for deploying a DE is that it will allow us to scan and run Remote Password Changers (RPC) decentralised in the Greensafe Infrastructure.

  1. Navigate to Administrattion > Setup & System Maintenance > Distributed Engine
  2. Click Add Engine
  3. Check the Processor Architecture and make sue it says 64-bit

  4. Set the Preconfigured site to greensafe.lab

    Add Site

  5. Click Download Now to download a ZIP file

  6. Open a Windows Explorer and navigate to Downloads

  7. Extract the ZIP file and run the setup.exe Application

    Add Site

  8. Close the Windows Explorer screens after the installation has finished

  9. Return to the Secret Server UI and make sure you are at Administrattion > Setup & System Maintenance > Distributed Engine

  10. After a few seconds, your deployed engine should be seen in the UI in the Pending Engines section. If the DE isn't shown, refresh your browser

    Add Site

  11. Expand the greensafe.lab site

  12. Hoover over the db-server.greensafe.lab engine and click the three dots on the right

    Add Site

  13. Click Activate in the dropdown menu, and OK

  14. If there is still a warning box next to the greensafe.lab site, refresh your browser

  15. Your UI should look like the below screenshot if all went well

    Add Site

This concludes this part of the lab
