    Packages to Install

    You have already selected which Intrexx components you want to install in the "Installation Selection" dialog box. At this point, you can review the Intrexx components to be installed and make changes if necessary.

    If you want to install the Intrexx Administration API, you must select the appropriate installation package here.

    Intrexx Administration API

    For detailed information about the Intrexx Administration API, see the " Intrexx Administration API" section.

    Advanced Settings

    Here, you can change a number of default settings.

    Advanced Settings

    This step in the installation process is relevant to you if you want to install multiple instances of Intrexx on the server.

    Advanced Settings

    Default instance

    This option sets the current installation as the default instance.

    Select this option if you want to install or run only one instance of Intrexx (default instance).

    Instance named

    Give the Intrexx instance a unique name if you plan to install or run multiple Intrexx instances. The different names make it possible to distinguish between the various Intrexx instances. At the same time, this option allows for the parallel installation of Intrexx.

    Standard Service Start

    Use this setting to specify the startup type for the Intrexx services during installation. You can find this setting in your computer's system settings. The possible launch types are:

    • Automatic

    • Delayed

    • Manual

    Java Runtime

    JDK included with Intrexx

    This option installs the JDK included with the product.

    JDK already installed on this system

    This option allows you to specify an existing Java Home directory. Intrexx then uses the JDK contained there. The JDK used must be compatible with at least JDK 21.

    Please note that the JDK must be compatible with Intrexx. If you're unsure about compatibility, please contact United Planet Support.

    Selected JDK

    Displays the version of the currently selected JDK.

    Use a proxy server for updates

    If you have set up a proxy server in your infrastructure to connect to the Internet or to the Intrexx Update Server, you can enter the relevant information here.

    Check for software updates automatically

    If you select this checkbox, Intrexx will automatically check for software updates. The check takes place when the Integrated Portal Manager connects to the Portal Server.

    You can check for updates manually at any time by selecting the "Check for Software Updates" menu item.

    9. Apache Solr Search Server

    Here you can change the settings for the Apache Solr search server. This is necessary, for example, if you do not want to install the Solr search server on the same server where you have installed Intrexx.

    Authentication on the Solr Search Server

    The Intrexx Portal Server authenticates itself with a username and password on the Solr search server.

    By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed along with Intrexx. It provides the search functionality for your portal.

    By default, the Apache Solr search server is installed on the same server as Intrexx. Therefore, "127.0.0.1" (localhost) is set as the default host. Port 8983 is suggested.

    However, you also have the option of installing the Apache Solr search server on a different server. In that case, you'll need to adjust the information accordingly.

    The Intrexx Portal Server authenticates itself on the Solr search server using a username and password. Change the default authentication credentials.
