Installing the Client Application

The Oracle Universal Authenticator client application must be installed on any Windows device that will use Oracle Universal Authenticator to log in. How the installer or application is deployed on the client will depend on how your organization normally rolls out applications.

The installer can run in GUI mode, or in silent mode. Regardless of how the Oracle Universal Authenticator application or installer is deployed, you must login as a local Administrator user to run the installer.

Before running the Oracle Universal Authenticator client application installer, you must know the following information about the DRSS endpoint, for example https://oaa.example.com:443/oaa-drss:
  • Host: <DRSS_HOSTNAME>, for example oaa.example.com.
  • Port: <DRSS_PORT>, for example 443.
  • User name: <DRSS_APIUSER>, for example OAA_INSTALL_OAA_DRSS.
  • Password: <DRSS_APIKEY>.

Note:

For details on how to find the required DRSS information, see Print Deployment Details.
