Initial Checklist

This topic includes the initial checklist when planning to setup your server and useful links to help you get started with most common tasks.

User management

Will you manually create users on ICP or do you plan to integrate with an external authenticator?
You need to decide who will need to have access to the system, either to all four products or just a subset of products.
Will you group users into domains on ICP, allowing easier administration compared to a flat list of users, all in a single domain?
Will you need to limit the number of active sessions per user/per domain?
Will there be different customizations per user/per domain?

How will you mainly use ISL Light? You can use one or more of the following methods:

access point (a customer visits your ICP web page and enters the provided session code - you can check this manual topic for more info about customizing that page: User web pages customization)
directly (a customer downloads ISL Light Client and enters the session code afterwards - you can check Starting products for direct ISL Light links)
integrate a connection box to your website (a customer enters a session code into the form on your website and runs the offered excutable - you can check this link for an example)
starting it from ISL Pronto (a supporter uses the remote desktop button in the ISL Pronto client toolbar to start ISL Light Desk, automatically generate a session code and push a connection link to the customer)

add a company logo to ISL Light
add command line arguments to ISL Light by default so that you start viewing and controlling customer's desktop as soon as you connect
customize the ISL Light executable name
customize the ISL Light program icon
customize the ISL Light window title
record ISL Light sessions automatically (e.g. on a network share which is mapped to a drive on your supporters' machines)
different permissions for different supporters, e.g. view only, no file transfer

Please check the ISL Light manual for further details.

How will you mainly use ISL AlwaysOn? You can use one or more of the following methods:

add the desired computers you control to your list (you login to your account, click add this computer and follow the installation wizard)

deploy the ISL AlwaysOn installer to a number of machines in order to add them all to your list (you can check this link for more information)
