System Installation

Certificate Authority Installation

[1] Digi-CA™ is normally installed by Digi-CAST2™ [2] but in the case of a very basic Digi-CA™ Xs installation (and based on the availability of experienced Network Engineers), you may be capable of installing the Digi-CA™ Xs using its documentation and simple telephone support from a Digi-CAST2™ Team member.

The basic Digi-CA™ Xs installation can be completed in three to five days. See Appendix II for two examples of a Single Server and a Dual Server installation. The following is a brief installation schedule:

• Day 1. System architecture check and testing
• Day 2. Digi-CA™ software installation
• Day 3. Root & Intermediate Certificate installation
• Day 4. Digi-CA™ testing, training and demonstration
• Day 5. Digi-CA™ training and deployment

A Digi-CA™ Xs customized installation may take additional time to configure and a Digi-CA™ Xp or Digi-CA™ Xg installation, using the basic outline as described above, takes longer.


System Testing

The testing of the Digi-CA™ is an integral part of the installation process and is completed, checked and approved by the customer before the Digi-CAST2™ Team leaves the customer site.

System Activation

The system activation of the Digi-CA™ is also an integral part of the installation process and is completed, checked and approved by the customer before the Digi-CAST2™ Team leaves the customer site. The online flash presentation of Digi-CA™ [3] explains the benefits in a simple and easy to understand manner.
