2 Setting Up SPMS .NET Secure Server

The SPMS Secure Server is a Microsoft IIS host machine that hosts the Microsoft SOAP based SPMS web service, developed to manage login credentials and encryption keys. It is comparable to a password management application.

To set up the SPMS Secure Server, install the SPMS Secure Service, which is one of the SPMS web services developed using the .NET framework and distributed as part of the SPMS Package.

  2. Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5, and 4.8 features are enabled on the target machine.

  3. Oracle 19c Database client with ODAC is installed on the target machine. See topic Oracle Database Client and ODAC Installation.

  4. SPMS Package is downloaded and available in the target machine. See topic SPMS Package File for download instructions.

  5. SPMS Application Client installed. See topic Setting Up SPMS Desktop Application Clients.

Before proceeding, it is important to know where you intend to set up the SPMS Secure Server. See topic Recommendation for the Installed SPMS Environment for some examples of SPMS Environment configurations. You can choose to install SPMS Secure Server on the same machine as in the SPMS Database Server or a separate machine.

  • The SPMS Secure Server must be reachable by all SPMS Application Clients and the SPMS Web Server as it manages the Database user credentials, which require an established SPMS-Database connection.

  • The SPMS Secure Server must be able to connect to the SPMS Database as it will need to verify the Database connection before it can store the Database user credentials.
