e. See the disk-size information about your selected component and feature
configuration, as well as the amount of free space on your drive, under the
GUI feature tree.
8. Enter applicable user account information and, optionally, enable role
separation. If the user informix account does not exist on your computer yet,
the installation application creates one and requires you to create a password
for it.
a. Enter the user informix password for your Windows computer, unless you
want to install IDS so that it runs as a local system user account without
creating user informix. If no user informix exists on your computer yet,
the installation application creates one but you are responsible for
providing the password and storing it in a secure location.
b. Optional: Click the first checkbox to install in a particular domain and
specify the domain controller administrator. You must have administrator
privileges for the domain to do this.
c. Optional: Click the Local System User checkbox if you want the IDS
instance to run as an internal Windows account, instead of logging in as a
Windows service.
d. Optional: Click the checkbox for ″Do not Create User informix″ if you are
sure that this does not interfere with your implementation goals.
e. Optional: Click the Enable Role Separation box if you want to activate this
configuration option. If you do not enable role separation, click Next and
go to step 10.
9. Specify role-based groups for IDS administration.
a. Select the name of the group to access the database server for general
administration tasks.
b. Select the name of the security administrator group and the password
twice for confirmation.
c. Select the name of the auditing administrator group and the password
twice for confirmation.
d. Select the name of the database end user group.
10. Enter the server name for the installation.
11. Optional: Select the Create Server option if you want to create the database
server but not initialize it.
12. Optional: Create the database server instance and set basic configuration
parameters in the GUI application.
Warning: Installing with the Initialize Server checkbox selected deletes all
existing IDS data, if any, on your host computer as part of the installation
process. However, to set basic configuration parameters in the installation
GUI, the Initialize Server checkbox must be selected. While using the
configuration features in the installation application are potentially very
useful, be sure to know your installation environment and proceed with
caution.
a. Deselect the Initialize Server checkbox if you do not want to overwrite
existing IDS data on your host computer by setting the configuration
parameters below. Regardless of whether this checkbox is selected or not,
the GUI program will provide a summary of your installation choices
before copying files to your computer.
b. Optional: Select the Enable a custom configuration file to suit your needs
and hardware checkbox if you want to activate the Instance Configuration
Wizard. You need to enter settings for the socket protocol fields, but you
will provide more detailed hardware and usage parameters in the GUI
