Deep Security Manager settings properties file

The settings properties file can be used in a command-line installation (silent Install) of the Deep Security Manager. (See Silent Install of Deep Security Manager.)

The format of each entry in the settings property file is:

<Screen Name>.<Property Name>=<Property Value>

The settings properties file has required and optional values.

For optional entries, supplying an invalid value will result in the default value being used.

Required Settings

LicenseScreen.License.2=<value>	<AC for Integrity Monitoring>	blank
LicenseScreen.License.3=<value>	<AC for Log Inspection>	blank

CredentialsScreen

Property	Possible Values	Default Value

Optional Settings

LanguageScreen

Property	Possible Values	Default Value	Notes
sys.languageId=<value>	en_US ja zh_CN	en_US	"en_US" = English, "ja" = Japanese, "zh_CN" = Simplified Chinese

UpgradeVerificationScreen

This setting is not referenced unless an existing installation is detected.

Property	Possible Values	Default Value
UpgradeVerificationScreen.Overwrite=<value>	True False	False

Setting this value to True will overwrite any existing data in the database. It will do this without any further prompts.

OldDataMigrationScreen

This screen defines the number of days of data to keep. When this setting is 0, all historical data will be kept, but this may increase the amount of time the upgrade will take. During the data migration, the silent install will show the percentage of records migrated at 10% intervals.

This setting is not referenced unless an existing installation is detected and it requires a data migration to upgrade the database schema.

Property	Possible Values	Default Value
OldDataMigrationScreen.HistoricalDays=<value>	Any integer	0

DatabaseScreen

This screen defines the database type and optionally the parameters needed to access certain database types.

The interactive install provides an "Advanced" dialog to define the instance name and domain of a Microsoft SQL server, but because the unattended install does not support dialogs these arguments are included in the DatabaseScreen settings below.

Property	Possible Values	Default Value	Notes
DatabaseScreen.DatabaseType=<value>	Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or PostgreSQL	Microsoft SQL Server	None
DatabaseScreen.Hostname=<value>	The name or IP address of the database server Current host name	Current host name	None
DatabaseScreen.DatabaseName=<value>	Any string	dsm
DatabaseScreen.Transport=<value>	Named Pipes TCP	Named Pipes	Required for SQL Server only
DatabaseScreen.Username=<value>	Any string	blank	Username used by the Manager to authenticate to the database server. Must match an existing database account. Note that the Deep Security Manager database permissions will correspond to this user's permissions. For example, if you choose a database account with read-only privileges, the Deep Security Manager will not be able to write to the database. Mandatory for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.
DatabaseScreen.Password=<value>	Any string	blank	Password used by the Manager to authenticate to the database server. Mandatory for Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle.
DatabaseScreen.SQLServer.Instance=<value>	Any string	blank	Used only with Microsoft SQL Server, which supports multiple instances on a single server or processor. Only one instance can be the default instance and any others are named instances. If the Deep Security Manager database instance is not the default, enter the name of the instance here. The value must match an existing instance or be left blank to indicate the default instance.
DatabaseScreen.SQLServer.Domain=<value>	Any string	blank	Used only with Microsoft SQL Server. This is the Windows domain used when authenticating to the SQL Server. The DatabaseScreen.Username and DatabaseScreen.Password described above are only valid within the appropriate domain.
DatabaseScreen.SQLServer.UseDefaultCollation=<value>	True False	False	Used only with Microsoft SQL Server. Collation determines how strings are sorted and compared. If the value is "False", Deep Security will use Latin1_General_CS_AS for collation on text-type columns. If the value is "True", Deep Security will use the collation method specified by your SQL Server database. For additional information on collation, refer to your SQL Server documentation.

AddressAndPortsScreen

This screen defines the hostname, URL, or IP address of this computer and defines port numbers for the Manager. In the interactive installer this screen also supports the addition of a new Manager to an existing database, but this option is not supported in the unattended install.

Property	Possible Values	Default Value	Notes
AddressAndPortsScreen.ManagerAddress=<value>	<hostname, URL or IP address of the Manager host>	<current host name>	None
AddressAndPortsScreen.ManagerPort=<value>	<valid port number>	4119	See Port numbers.
AddressAndPortsScreen.HeartbeatPort=<value>	<valid port number>	4120	See Port numbers.
AddressAndPortsScreen.NewNode=<value>	True False	False	True indicates that the current install is a new node. If the installer finds existing data in the database, it will add this installation as a new node. (Multi-node setup is always a silent install). Note: The "New Node" installation information about the existing database to be provided via the DatabaseScreen properties.

CredentialsScreen

Property	Possible Values	Default Value	Notes
CredentialsScreen.UseStrongPasswords=<value>	True False	False	True indicates the DSM should be set up to enforce strong passwords
