Prerequisite Installation and Configuration

  • The Real-Time Dashboard is a BeyondTrust Middleware Engine plugin.

  • The host computer must be a fully patched Windows Server 2012 R2 or later.
  • Microsoft IIS must be setup as described in Microsoft IIS Setup for Real-Time Dashboard Integration.
  • For best results, the B Series Appliance and the server hosting the BeyondTrust Middleware Engine should have synchronized clocks. Clock drift between the servers could cause inaccurate time durations to appear on the dashboard.
  • CA-signed SSL certificates are recommended for production deployments. While self-signed certificates can be used for product staging and test deployments, a self-signed certificate is NOT recommended for production use.
