Configure the Empirica Signal software

Before users can use Empirica Signal, you must complete the following tasks. For information about each task, see the User Guide and Online Help.

In a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser window, navigate to the login page, for example:
https://<server name>:7004/Signal

Note: This example is for a site that requires SSL and does not use single sign-on.

If your site does not require SSL, use http://<server name>:7003/Signal instead.

If your site uses SSO, use the native login port that Oracle or the administrator who configured SSO for the application provided to you.

If the login page appears, the site is set up correctly.
Enter the credentials necessary to log in as the admin user.
- Username—admin
- Password—The password you created in Set the passwords of the system and admin users.
When prompted, change the password.
You are logged out of the application.
Log in as the admin user with the new password.
The home page appears.
Set your site options as follows:
1. Click Settings and then click Set Site Options.
  The Site Options page appears.
2. Verify the SMTP server name.
3. If R version 3.0.1 or 3.2 is installed on your system, and you set the rgps parameters in the listener.properties file, select Enable RGPS Option in MGPS Data Mining Runs.
  Alternatively, verify that the option is deselected.
  
  For more information, see Set up the listener.properties file.
4. In the following fields, specify the email address for your support team:
  - From Email Address
  - Feedback Email
  - Error Email
  The default email address is for the Empirica Signal support team (esignalcontact_ww_grp@oracle.com).
5. Verify that all other site options are set correctly.
6. Click Save.
Click Exit.
You are logged out.
If your site uses SSO, perform the following:
1. Create an SSO user in your SSO application.
2. If you self-host Empirica Signal and use Oracle Access Manager (OAM) for SSO, create the same user in the Empirica Signal application.
  If Oracle hosts your instance of Empirica Signal, you do not need to perform this step.
3. In a Microsoft Internet Explorer browser window, navigate to the login page.
  The login prompt appears.
4. Log in as the newly created SSO user.
  The home page appears.
5. Click Exit.
  You are logged out.
