Install Web Console using the All-in-one installer

Prerequisites

•ESET PROTECT Server is installed.

note

You can install the ESET PROTECT Web Console on a different computer than the computer running the ESET PROTECT Server. This procedure requires additional steps.

• Apache Tomcat is a mandatory component required to run the ESET PROTECT Web Console.

• Apache Tomcat requires 64-bit Java/OpenJDK. If you have multiple Java versions installed on your system, we recommend uninstalling earlier Java versions and keeping only the latest supported Java version.

warning

Starting January 2019, Oracle JAVA SE 8 public updates for business, commercial or production use require a commercial license. If you do not purchase a JAVA SE subscription, you can transition to a no-cost alternative. See the supported versions of JDK.

Optionally, select the Add custom HTTPS certificate for Webconsole check box.

 

•Select this option if you want to use a custom HTTPS certificate for the ESET PROTECT Web Console.

•If you do not select this option, the installer automatically generates a new Tomcat keystore (a self-signed HTTPS certificate).

• If you have selected Add custom HTTPS certificate for Webconsole, click Browse and select a valid Certificate (.pfx or .p12 file) and type its Passphrase (or leave the field blank if there is no passphrase). The installer will install the certificate for Web Console access on your Tomcat server. Click Next to continue.
