Internal GCManage Server Setup

Preparation

• Verify requirements
  • Two IP addresses
• Do an apt-get update and dist-upgrade before doing anything.

Install GCManage Release

• Upload latest production release from buildmgr
• untar release and run install-gcmanage script as root
  • While installing, check out the subnet allocation spreadsheet and add new unique subnets for client and management VPNs. We'll refer to these later.
• When postfix prompts for server type, choose Satellite option and gcmmail.grandcare.com as the SMTP relay.
• Eventually you will be prompted for SSL certificate information. Details here are not important (self-signed cert).
