You must be able to provide the administrator/root password during the installation process.
Execute the macOS installer.
The installation process assigns some default values that may be changed after installation.
As noted earlier, the Linkar MANAGER service and Linkar SERVER service are background services that listen for inbound connections.
Host Name
The hostname is the default hostname used to access the Manager browser application, whether locally or from a separate workstation. That is, with default settings, a browser can be opened to http://localhost:11201. The hostname is also used for connections to the Linkar SERVER service. When a desktop shortcut is created, it will open to this hostname and port.
We strongly discourage the use of "localhost" and "127.0.0.1". This can lead to a condition noted in Network Issues.
We do recommend using the system's hostname. The URL used by the MANAGER will be http://thishostname:11201.
The hostname must resolve to localhost for the server being installed. A service cannot be started in another system.
The hostname must also resolve through DNS if using the Manager from another workstation.
Ports
The TCP ports are the sockets on which the services listen.
The Linkar SERVER Listener port will respond to requests from clients and Linkar Manager.
The Linkar MANAGER HTTP port listens to Linkar MANAGER requests, and requests generated by Linkar REST API.
See Network Issues and Permissions for possible issues related to firewalls and TCP ports.
Linkar MANAGER Login
The user/password (admin/admin) is only used to authenticate an administrator to Linkar MANAGER. This is not related to any other credentials in your environment. (Casing may require ADMIN/admin)
These values can be changed, but to facilitate Support efforts, if required, it's helpful to start with the default ports, user, and password.
