Customize inventory file

Customize the default inventory file with the topology that defines the customer's deployment, including server host names and other settings. Verify that the inventory file template matches the site deployment level as L1, L2, or L3 - standard or high-availability configurations.

SSL communication for TAS and WFO

The communication mode for TAS must be identical to that of WFO. SSL is the default and recommended mode of communication. The inventory files are compatible with SSL environments.

UNIX format for inventory files

The inventory file must be in Unix format. If required, use the dos2unix utility to convert the file on the Management server.

TAS users

All TAS users are automatically created with the IDs and the unified password defined in the inventory file.

Before you begin 

• Save CA certificates for TAS servers

• Review the information in the following files, as appropriate:

  • TAS inventory file for consolidated deployment (TAS 8)

  • TAS Inventory file for distributed deployment (TAS 8)

Procedure 

1. On the Management server, go to /<data_folder>/tas_installation/production_inventories.

   where:

   <data_folder> is the folder defined for data storage, and is by default /opt/app/data.

2. Open the inventory file in the folder.

3. Change the settings in the generic section of the file, as required.

4. For non-SSL environments, in the Secure Gateway section, set:

   secure_gateway_ssl_enabled=false

5. Verify that the inventory file is in Unix format, and save the file.
