Before You Begin the Installation

Please review the following information before you begin installing Enterprise Steam.

• Complete the preinstall worksheet to identify what is necessary for the installation.
• Obtain the Enterprise Steam license key.
• Sudo or root access is required to install Enterprise Steam.
• For H2O and Sparkling Water, a Hadoop admin is needed in order to setup impersonation.
• The installation creates a new system user called “steam” if it does not exist. It is highly recommended to use this service ID to run Enterprise Steam.
• Enterprise Steam requires a single port (:9555) to be open before installation. Follow your regular process for opening ports for Enterprise Steam.
• If configuring LDAP, be sure that you have a good understanding of LDAP groups in order to get the LDAP connection strings to be configured in the Steam UI.
• Keep the LDAP authentication certificate, if that exists in your enterprise.
