1. Configuring server settings

PME server

Install a security certificate for TLS 1.2

PME uses Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 for an encrypted, authenticated connection using HTTPS between the server and the Web clients.

A security certificate must be installed on the PME server and must be bound to the Default Web Site, which is used by PME. By default, if no bound certificate is detected, PME is installed with a self-signed certificate.

RECOMMENDATION: We strongly recommend that you replace the self-signed certificate with an authority issued certificate.

Set SQL Server memory options

Set the SQL Server memory options to optimize system performance.

NOTE: Setting the SQL Server memory options applies only to full, standard editions of SQL Server. It does not apply to SQL Server Express editions.

See Setting SQL Server memory options for details.

See After installing the software for additional recommended post-installation configuration steps.

 

Building Operation server

Add PME server as Trusted site in Internet Options

Building Operation and PME can be installed on the same server (operating system) or on two separate servers.

When installing on separate servers, you must configure Internet Explorer on the Building Operation computer to add the PME server URL as a Trusted site.

To add the PME server URL as a Trusted site:

  1. Open Internet Explorer and navigate to Tools > Internet Options, then click Security.
  2. Select Local intranet, and then click Sites. The Local intranet dialog appears.
  3. (For IE 11) In Local intranet, click Advanced.
  4. In the Add this website to the zone field, enter your PME server site address, and then click Add. Your PME server site is now added as a Local intranet site zone.
  5. Click OK. Your system can now authenticate your Power Monitoring Expert server.
