Prerequisites
Ensure that you meet the following prerequisites before initiating the deployment. To use this guide successfully, Cyware recommends you to be familiar with deploying software on Linux Servers and installing a database on the Linux Enterprise Server.
Note
The default shell that is used for the Intel Exchange deployment is Bash.
Network Requirements
Share the public gateway IP address of your servers with the Cyware team, so that we can add the IP addresses to our Allow List and enable access to our repository domains.
Synchronize with NTP Server
Synchronize the server used in the Intel Exchange deployment with the Network Time Protocol server of the organization. To check if the system clock is synchronized and NTP is active, run the following command:
timedatectl
Allow Cyware Domains
Add the following Cyware domains to your Allow List. You will require access to these domains during the deployment to download the installation package. You will also need access to the production license server and Cyware Support.

Proxy Configuration
If you have a proxy that acts as a gateway between your users and the internet, it should be configured beforehand in all the servers that you use for deployment to ensure network connectivity to Cyware repositories. You can configure the proxy for Intel Exchange in the vars.yml
file. For more information, see the Update Vars File section in Deployment Procedure.
For more information on how to configure proxy on a Linux server, see Configure Proxy on Linux Server.
Domain Details
If you need the Intel Exchange platform to be available on a specific domain name, have these handy:
Domain Name: Custom domain name on which you want to access the application. For example:
https://tenantcode.myorg.com
. You can configure the domain and tenant code of the application in thevars.yml
file during deployment. For more information, see section Update Vars File in Deployment Procedure.SSL Certificates are required with the following details:
Note
You can also generate and use a self-signed SSL certificate. For more information, see Create Self-Signed SSL Certificate.
Root, intermediate, and domain certificates in
.crt
formatThe private key of the domain certificate
Store the SSL Certificate (
.crt
) and Key (.key
) files in the/etc/ssl
directory asssl.crt
andssl.key
respectively.DNS Configuration on Public/Internal DNS server: Configure domain name resolution on the application’s Web/Virtual IP/Loadbalancer’s IP address.
Allow External URLs
(Optional) App URLs: Allow outbound connection to the third-party application URLs that you want to integrate with CTIX. For example, Crowd Strike, Alien Vault, and more.
(Optional) SSO/SAML URL: Add the embed URL of the SSO/SAML authentication app that you are using to the Allow List. For more information, see Configure SAML 2.0 as the Authentication Method.
(Optional) LDAP URL: Add the URL of the LDAP authentication app that you are using to the Allow List.
