Installing and configuring HP StoreFront Mobile Access server software

HP StoreFront Mobile Access server software is available as a download. See

“Software and

documentation downloads” (page 6)

.

The following steps are for a new installation. For an upgrade, see

“Upgrade installation overview”

(page 7)

.

1.

Unzip the HP StoreFront Mobile Access server software download. For each physical or VM
server on which you install the HP StoreFront Mobile Access server software, perform the
following steps.

2.

Run the HP StoreFront Mobile Access server installer (HP StoreFront Mobile Access
Installer.exe

). When prompted, accept default values for ports or change as necessary.

See

“Server services and ports” (page 23)

. Port numbers can be from 1024 to 65535.

3.

After you close the installer, use Windows on the physical or VM server to add administrators
to the HP Mobile Security Admins security group. The group can be a local Windows security
group or an Active Directory group. Only members of the HP Mobile Security Admins security
group can use the Mobility Setup Tool.

4.

Use the HP StoreFront Mobile Access Mobility Setup Tool to configure the HP StoreFront Mobile
Access server to monitor specific HP 3PAR StoreServ systems. See

“Mobility Setup Tool”

(page 26)

. This is a one-time or infrequent step.

5.

Review default configuration settings and change them, if necessary. See

“Device access limit”

(page 22)

,

“Session timeout” (page 26)

, and

“iOS notification level” (page 26)

. Administrators

who plan to support iOS mobile devices may want to change the rather restrictive default
settings for iOS. This is a one-time or infrequent step.

6.

Use the Mobility Setup Tool to manage requests for mobile devices to access the HP StoreFront
Mobile Access server. This step is required whenever users and their mobile devices change.

Device access and device keys

HP StoreFront Mobile Access device keys are used to authorize mobile devices to connect to HP
StoreFront Mobile Access servers. Each device key is for a specific combination of mobile device
and HP StoreFront Mobile Access server.

The following steps summarize the typical device key notification process for a mobile device user
and an administrator. Before the steps involving automatic email notification can occur, an
administrator must have configured the device key email notification settings. See

“Device key

notification settings” (page 22)

. Otherwise, the email notification steps must be done manually.

1.

In the app, a user selects an HP StoreFront Mobile Access server and requests a device key.
The request includes the requester's name, email address, and reason for access. The app
sends the request by email to the administrator.

2.

An administrator reviews the request. If approved, the administrator uses the Mobility Setup
Tool to generate a temporary device key and email it to the user. See

“deviceaccess –

generateKey command” (page 36)

.

3.

When received, the user enters the temporary device key in the app.

4.

The HP StoreFront Mobile Access server processes the device key, creates a permanent shared
encrypted key, and authorizes access by the mobile device.

5.

The user can then continue in the app and connect to the storage systems that are monitored
by the HP StoreFront Mobile Access server. Once a device has been authorized access, the
user can connect to storage in the future, without reentering the key.

Considerations

• After receiving a temporary key, the user should immediately enter the key in the app. Each
temporary key expires 12 hours after it is generated by an administrator.
