Pre-Installation Configuration

Prior to installation of Simphony, perform the following tasks:

• Apply critical security patches and other updates to the operating system.

• Apply critical security patches to the database server application.

• Follow the Microsoft TechNet guidelines to harden the TLS configuration, especially to disable weak TLS 1.2 cipher Suites.

• Review the Oracle Hospitality Enterprise Back Office Security Guide.

• Review the Oracle MICROS Hardware Wireless Networking Best Practices Guide.

• If you are installing Simphony version 19.1 (or earlier), create Oracle Database Tablespaces per the instructions in the Oracle MICROS Simphony Installation Guide. Tablespace requirements may vary based on the customer’s specifications.

  Note:

  Beginning with Simphony version 19.2.1, the installation application automatically creates all necessary Oracle Database Tablespaces.

• Acquire TLS 1.2 compliant security certificate from a valid Certification Authority (CA).
