6 Pre-installation configuration

When you run the MyID Installation Assistant, once you have provided the installation details (for example, the installation folder, the server URL, and the user accounts) it carries out an Pre-Installation Check to ensure that you the details you have entered are correct (for example, the user accounts have the appropriate permissions, and the MyID server URL has the appropriate security), and your servers are ready to start installing MyID; see section 2.16, Pre-installation check results.

Note: The Pre-Installation Check also carries out some tests on configuration that is included as part of the initial server configuration; for example, for the initial server configuration you must install an appropriate version of SQL Server, and the pre-installation check ensures that the relevant SQL Server services are running correctly. See section 4, Initial server configuration for details.
