For System Administrators

       The first thing you'll need to do is download the server installer from the Code Collaborator page, http://smartbear.com/codecollab-download.php.

       Once you've downloaded the installer, open it to begin the installation wizard.  The wizard should guide you through the steps below:

       a.  Welcome Page

       This just welcomes you to the installation process.  Click Next to proceed.

       b.  EULA

       Read the license agreement, and select "I accept the agreement" before clicking Next.

       c.  Destination Directory

       Choose the folder where you would like the Code Collaborator server to be installed.  Make sure that the directory is writable by the server and that there are at least 5 gigabytes of space available in the directory.

       d.  Configure Webserver

       Enter an open port number that does not conflict with any existing services.

       e.  Start Menu Folder

       Select a Start Menu folder where you'd like to create the Code Collaborator shortcut.

       f.  Database Connection

       If you are trying out Code Collaborator, we recommend that you select Embedded to keep things simple.  This will not require a prior setup, and you can easily migrate your reviews to real database later.  If you'd like to configure another database now, you will be taken to a screen that will let you configure your connection to the database server.  For more details, visit the Database section.

       g.  Authentication Type

       Choose one of the following authentication types:

Internal - Code Collaborator should maintain usernames and passwords in its own database

       LDAP - You can use LDAP authentication, which won't require you to maintain the Code Collaborator usernames and passwords.  If this is chosen, the next screen will let you configure your LDAP integration.  For more details, visit the LDAP section.

       h.  Completed Page

       This page will appear once the server is installed.  Click Finish.

       After you finish with the installation, a web browser will open automatically, pointed at your installed server.  Log in as admin, and leave the password field blank.

       This is where you can choose whether you'd like to use Code Collaborator or Code Reviewer.  To view the differences between these two products, visit our website, http://smartbear.com/codecollab-codereviewer.php.  You should also enter the Administrative Contact Information.

       You should supply at least two users for this section.  Visit the User Management page.

       The Admin section is where you can configure the settings to your liking.  Most of the settings are self-explanatory, but if you need more explanation, visit the Configuration Section.
