If you haven't yet an Ulteo OVD DVD-ROM, please donwload the corresponding ISO file from this place at www.ulteo.com and burn it to a fresh DVD.
Insert the Ulteo OVD DVD-ROM into your computer and restart it. If you selected the DVD-ROM as first boot device you'll see the bootloader interface:
Press Enter, the system is now going to boot. It may take some time.
The first step is used to select the system language. Choose your language from the list and click on Forward.
In the second step, the system asks you to define your location. Either select a point on the map or choose one from the Selected city form and click on Forward.
The third step is used to define the keyboard layout. Select yours and click on Forward.
Then, you have to select the partitioning method. We suggest the automatic method: Guided - use entire disk.
These questions are about the installed operating system itself, user login and password used to access the OS, along with the hostname of the machine.
This question is about the Ulteo OVD installation mode. This documentation only support the both mode (Application Server and Session Manager checked)
Type a password and confirm it
Now now carefully the installation summary.
Click on Install.
Now, you just have to wait during the system installation.
Finally, click on Restart now.
Ulteo OVD is mainly a network service, so it is useful to know the network IP address of this machine to access it from the network, for instance with a web browser.
First of all, you have to log into the system, and use the username and password you specified at install time.
On an active terminal command line type the following command:
$ ifconfig eth0
Following is a possible output:
$ ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:30:05:5c:73:a5

The IP address we are looking for is 192.168.0.180.

From now on the Session Manager url we are going to use is http://192.168.0.180/sessionmanager and you can access the administrator console from: http://192.168.0.180/sessionmanager/admin |
By using a web browser and entering the correct IP address, you should see this kind of page:
Once you can access the Ulteo system from your browser, go to the administration console: http://192.168.0.180/sessionmanager/admin and authenticate yourself.

The administrator login and password are both admin. |
Your Ulteo Applications Server (ApS) should show up in the Unregistered servers page.
Click on register.
Then, click on Switch to production to switch it to Production mode.
Your Application Server has localhost as server name so you have to replace it with the network address we previously retrieved (In our example, it is 192.168.0.180).
The redirection name is used to launch session. When you launch a session, you are redirected to an Application server using the redirection name as redirection. In some cases the default redirection name (the FQDN you gave at the ApS installation) is not valid. For instance, if you setup an private IP address and you want to connect from Internet.
A publication is an association between a users group and an applications group. It's an authorization for a users group to launch the applications include in the group.
By default, there is no users or applications group installed so you have to create it to launch sessions (it's not possible to launch session without application in the default configuration).
To simplify the process, you can use the Publication wizard by going on Applications page.
Go to the Publications page, select and follow the wizard steps.
