Adding Additional Users or Groups to View and Query the Audit Database

When you configure NES during deployment, you define the users or groups that have access to the NES audit log database.

1. Log in to the NES server with the account that performed the NES installation and configuration.
2. Navigate to the directory that contains the NES installation software.
3. From the directory that contains the extracted NES installation package, run ..\NesInstaller\install.exe.
4. On the User Access Control window, click Yes.
5. On the Open File - Security warning window, click Run.
6. If applicable, on the User Access Control page, review the Microsoft .NET EULA, and then click Accept. Complete the .NET installation and continue with the NES installation.
7. On the Application Install Security Warning window, click Install.
8. On the Open File - Security warning window, click Run.
9. On the left navigation pane, click Location, and then perform the following steps.
   1. In the Install Root field, confirm that the path to the NES services is correct, as it was specified during the initial deployment.
      The default location is C:\inetpub\wwwroot.
   2. In the Instance Name field, type the descriptive name that was specified during the initial deployment for the NES web application instance name. For example, NES. See Configuration Attribute Values in the Nymi Connected Worker Platform—Deployment Guide.
      Note: Ensure that the values that you specify in the Install Root and Instance Name match the values that you specified when you deployed the previous version of NES. When the values that you specified in the Install Root and Instance Name are correct, the Location test results will show Install Type: Update/ Re-Install. If there is no match for the values entered, the Location test results will show New Installation for the Install Type. The following figure provides an example of the Location window for an NES upgrade.
