Integrate software into the directory
Do appropriate DNS entries to support the system
Configure SSL (this does require a customer provided CA signed wildcard SSL certificate)
Configure basic branding (customer colors/logos) on the login page and user interface
Integrate up to four supported file service nodes
Integrate and configure single sign-on for up to six supported applications (Windows applications
will require one of the following: app to be installed on the local client, customer provided MS RDS
server (terminal server) with app installed, or customer provided application virtualization software)
Configure password reset
Configure remote desktop feature
Configure teamPages in pilot mode (a separate database server will be required for production
mode – server can be existing in customer environment or dedicated for webNetwork)
Configure logging and auditing in pilot mode (a separate database server will be required for
production mode – server can be existing in customer environment or dedicated for webNetwork)
Ease of Use - webNetwork
