POST-INSTALLATION

Configuring BrightAuthor

BrightAuthor installations will need to be configured to connect to the BSNEE 3.5 instance.
BrightAuthor install files can be configured using the latest version BrightAuthor Configurator,
which is available on the

Software Downloads

page.


If you did not change any node names during the update process, follow these steps while
running the Configurator:

1. Enter the

Base Domain Name for the BSNEE instance.

2. Check the

Advanced Configuration box.

3. For the

Application Services node, use a “fileservices” domain instead of an “api”

domain (e.g. “fileservices.mydomain.com”).

4. For the

Device Handlers node, use a “services” domain instead of a “handlers” domain

(e.g. “services.mydomain.com”).

5. For the

Storage node, enter the same BSNEE Persistent Storage URL that was used

previously.

System and Order Administrator Accounts

As of BSNEE 3.5, “admin” and “orderadmin” system accounts have been merged into new
“admin” accounts that have two roles: System Administrators and Order Administrators. The
“orderadmin” account is suspended after BSNEE is upgraded to version 3.5.

The member of the previous “admin” account should continue using the same account,

Email (login), and password as before.

The member of the previous “orderadmin” account is automatically transferred to an

“admin” account and given the role of System Administrator during the update process.
In order to access the AdminUI on the

Sign-In page, the Order Administrator will need

to use “admin” instead of “orderadmin” in the

Account field.

Configuring LDAP

If BSNEE is configured for use with Active Directory, you will need to rename the Active
Directory groups that contain “admin” and “orderadmin” accounts before or immediately after
the update process. If this step is not taken, the Admin UI will be inaccessible to Active
Directory users. Rename the System Administrators and Order Administrators groups using
the following parameters:
