Self-Hosted Customer Installation Checklist
Ensure that your infrastructure is ready for your scheduled TASS installation.
Required for installation:
Web and database servers have been created meeting at least the minimum System Requirements
Adequate disk space has been provisioned based on current and future database and TASS.doc/Assessment Repository requirements.
Windows updates installed (and post-update reboots have been completed).
Supported Microsoft SQL Server installation media supplied (ISO file on the database server is fine) or SQL Server is installed and all updates have been applied.
Remote access configured (via Microsoft Remote Desktop as per Remote Access Requirements).
TASS support account(s) created with administrator access to servers and databases, and all necessary credentials supplied (eg RD, server admin accounts, SQL, etc).
Domain name selected (eg tass.yourschool.edu.au) and provided to TASS.
The domain names used for TASS internally and externally must be the same. This is because the TASS application needs to know how to refer to itself. This may require creating a DNS record on the local network which refers to the TASS web server's internal IP address.
DNS configured internally and externally.
SSL certificate sourced from trusted/reputable certification authority in PKCS12 (PFX) format ready for installation (password provided if required).
Firewall configured for internal and external access over HTTPS (TCP port 443). Note that custom ports are not supported. Also note that starting with v49, connection requests via HTTP will be redirected to HTTPS.
Mail server configuration supplied to TASS - review our Mail Server Requirements article for more information.
If you have elected to deploy a Test Instance, the above will be additionally required for the Test Instance
Failure to provide the required infrastructure and details before your installation date may result in the delay of your TASS installation.
