10.2 Customizing the Installation

After installing the Dashboard, you can customize your installation by changing the default settings. To customize the Dashboard installation:

  1. Go to the directory where you have installed the Dashboard. By default, the Dashboard is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\Secure Configuration Manager\Dashboard directory.

  2. (Conditional) To customize the Analytics Database, go to the Database\config directory and open the db.properties file. You can change the protocol, Database port, and the Core computer name in this file.

    Save the file.

  3. (Conditional) To customize the Dashboard Website, go to the Website directory and open the website.properties file. You can change the Website protocol, Website port, Database protocol, and the Database port in this file.

    Save the file.

  4. Restart the Elasticsearch 2.0.0 (NetIQDatabaseService) and the NetIQ Dashboard Website Service, in that order.
