The installation program for EAS performs the following functions:
Installs and optionally configures the service
Configures the user account that can perform administration tasks for the service
Configures the DBA used by the service to interact with the database
Allows you to define the port on which the PostgreSQL database runs
NOTE:
NetIQ recommends that you synchronize the time on the computer where you install EAS with the computers hosting components that interact with the service, such as the Reporting Module and other Identity Manager components. Otherwise, you might experience configuration problems.
You can install an alternative event auditing service, such as NetIQ Sentinel. However, this guide provide instructions only for installing NetIQ Event Auditing Service.
