Modify the Ipswitch Analytics Server

You can modify the Ipswitch Analytics Server to update either of the following areas.

• Tomcat settings:
  • HTTPS Connector Port
  • Ipswitch Analytics Server IP address or hostname (Analytics Server URL)
  • Tomcat Service Logon Account
  • Tomcat SSL certificate option (self-signed or certificate keystore)
  • Certificate passwords, or certificate keystore import
• Analytics Server Database settings:
  • Admin username and password
  • Access username and password
  • Port

You do not have to stop your MOVEit Transfer or MOVEit Automation server(s) to modify the Ipswitch Analytics Server.

The Modify wizard makes changes in one area at a time. For example, if you select Modify and then select Tomcat, you provide changes to the tomcat settings, the program implements them and then closes. If you want to also make changes to the database, run the program again, select to modify Database and provide your changes.

Note: You can change the System Administrator's name and password via the USERS module.

1. Before you modify a Ipswitch Analytics Server setting, stop all Ipswitch Analytics Agents. Go to each Agent machine and under Administrative Tools select Services. Right-click Ipswitch Analytics Agent and select Stop.
2. Sign in to the Ipswitch Analytics Server machine using an account with administrator privileges.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Open Ipswitch_Analytics_Base_vn.exe, where n is the version number of your current software.
   • Open Control Panel > Programs and Features, right-click Ipswitch Analytics Server and select Change.

   The installer opens.

4. Click Next.
5. Select Modify. Click Next.
6. Select a category to modify, and click Next.
7. Modify items in the category you selected:

   Tomcat:

   Tomcat Settings:

   • HTTPS Connector Port: The connector port used for HTTPS and the Ipswitch Analytics Server URL.

     Adhere to your IT security or other IT network policies when configuring ports.

   • Ipswitch Analytics Server IP address or hostname: Must match the Common Name (CN) in your imported keystore certificate.

     IMPORTANT: If you change the Analytics Server IP address or hostname, you must also Modify the Ipswitch Analytics Agent (Modify an Ipswitch Analytics Agent, https://docs.ipswitch.com/MOVEit/Analytics2.1/Help/Admin/en/index.htm#28636.htm) so that it points to the new name or IP address.

   Tomcat Service Logon Account:

   Make a selection based on the account you want to use to sign in and run the Ipswitch Analytics Server service:

   • Use Local System Account (default): Uses the Local System account to sign in and run the service. This is the account that you used to sign in to Windows. (If you select this option, you are not required to provide additional credentials.)
   • Specify a different account: Does not use the Local System account. If you select this option, an additional screen opens for you to provide the user name, password, and group of the account to sign in and run the Ipswitch Analytics service. To use a domain account, provide credentials in the format DOMAIN\username.

   Tomcat Certificate:

   Specify how you want the Ipswitch Analytics Server to validate identity certificates:

   

   • Create Self-Signed Certificate

     Select this option for Evaluation Accounts only; it creates a certificate that expires in 90 days. Click Next.

   • Import Certificate Keystore: Import an SSL password-protected PKCS12 certificate keystore file with .PFX or .P12 file extension. Click Browse to locate and select the certificate keystore, and then provide the password for the keystore. Click Next.

   Database:

   Specify the Analytics Server Database Settings. This information is required to run the PostgreSQL database on the Ipswitch Analytics Server:

   

   • Database Administrator Username: Username for the account that the database administrator can use to access the PostgreSQL database if necessary. Recommended: use the suggested username.
   • Database Administrator Password: Password for the Administrator Username you entered.
   • Database Port: This port number is predefined to the standard PostgreSQL port. You can specify any unused port.
8. After you finish making the necessary modifications, click Install.
9. Click Finish.
