It is also possible to use RDP to connect to a DryvIQ server to facilitate access to the web interface and REST API without having to open port 9090 on the firewall of any DryvIQ servers.

  • api.portalarchitects.com for DryvIQ License Acquisition

  • API Ports for Cloud Storage Platforms

Application services/processes

Whitelist:

  • Skysync.exe

 

Security Requirements

  • DryvIQ Platform requires a service account with interactive login rights.

  • Local admin on the DryvIQ Server(s)

  • Database Owner (DBO) access to DryvIQ database

  • Repository account passwords used by the DryvIQ Platform should be set to not expire.

REST API Tool | Postman

  • Download the following https://www.postman.com/downloads/ to the server where DryvIQ Govern will be installed.

  • The DryvIQ Professional Services team will configure Postman during our installation session.

Web Browser | Google Chrome

Screen Sharing Control

  • DryvIQ requests a resource that allows our team to leverage screen sharing control with an online meeting service, such as Microsoft Teams or Go to Meeting, so DryvIQ can perform the installation and configuration of DryvIQ Govern.

Remote Desktop Access (Optional)

  • The Professional Services team requires Remote Desktop Access to the DryvIQ servers to assist with setup, configuration, and monitoring of the system.

  • Access via direct RDP access or via VPN

  • Admin-level rights to the server(s) to install and configure

  • Provide DryvIQ access to the username and password/admin-level access rights to the DryvIQ servers for setup, configuration, and monitoring of the system.

 

Languages

  • DryvIQ Govern (including the login screen) uses English (UK).

  • DryvIQ is a North American language-based software solution that supports Unicode; however, it is neither localized or internationalized. In order to support our international customer base, we recognize that support for non-English language is required. As such, we have made significant investments in developing a solution that accepts and migrates a vast majority of data for most languages. While we continue to make added investments to ensure our solution will enable the migration of non-English language files and folders, it cannot account for all idiosyncrasies/caveats.
