To set up ibaManagementStudio you need agents that can communicate with the server. To do this, install the software for the ibaManagementStudio Agent on a computer on which iba software products are installed.

When installing other iba software products, you can also install the ibaManagementStudio Agent as an additional component. The default settings are used for this.

  1. Execute the ibaManagementStudio_Agent_Setup_v2.x.y.exe file, e.g., by double-clicking on the filename in Windows Explorer. Follow the instructions of the installation wizard.

  2. If necessary, select the language for the installation process.

  3. Accept the license agreement.

  4. Select the installation folder.

  5. Select the user account (optional).

    • Local system account (default):

      The local system account has administrator rights for the local computer.

    • This account:

      Select this option if you want to run the agent with a special user account or Group Managed Service Account (gMSA).

      Further information on creating and using service accounts can be found in the "IT security guide". You can find the guide in the download area on the iba website or in the help center at https://docs.iba-ag.com.

  6. Select the communication mode between the server and agent. You can also change the selection in the status application after installation.

    • Server-initiated, see Server-initiated connection.

      If you have selected the server-initiated communication mode, you can optionally select a TLS certificate in the next step.

    • Agent-initiated, see Agent-initiated connection.

      If you have selected the agent-initiated communication mode, specify the server's IP address and port number.

  7. Start the installation process with <Install>.

  8. Finish the installation with <Finish>.

Afterwards, you can configure additional settings for the agent in ibaManagementStudio Agent Status, see ibaManagementStudio Status. You can then add the agents in the web client, see Adding a system.
