Installing and Configuring Eagle NT

After initial configuration of Windows NT Server is complete, you can install and configure Eagle
NT.
NOTE Before attempting to install Eagle NT, you must log on to the system as Administrator. Logging on
to another user account with Administrator privileges will not work.

Configuration Guide; refer to these documents for detailed instructions on completing a specific step.
Intergraph Computer Systems recommends that you read these documents before beginning
installation and configuration of Eagle NT.
To install and configure Eagle NT:
1. Develop a security policy for your site as described in the Installation Guide. Use the guidelines
provided to develop a detailed plan for implementing network security at your site.
NOTE Eagle NT requires Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 3 (or higher) software, delivered on CD with
your system. Make sure Service Pack 3 (or higher) software is installed on your system before
installing Eagle NT.Review Raptor Systems' Eagle NT release notes.
2. Install Eagle NT as described in the Eagle NT Installation Guide.
3. Define Eagle NT gateway characteristics as described in the Eagle NT Configuration Guide. The
characteristics you choose will depend on the security policy for your site.
4. Set the notifications policy for your site as described in the Configuration Guide. The
notifications policy defines who will be notified in response to alert messages generated by Eagle
NT. You can configure Eagle NT to take actions such as sending email to certain users, playing
audio recordings, or sending notifications to digital pagers.
5. Create network entities as described in the Configuration Guide. Network entities include the
groups, domains, subnets, and hosts you will be using to implement your site' s security policy.
6. If you plan to use gateway authentification on the firewall, define users and groups of users as
described in the Configuration Guide. Placing users in groups allows you to implement your
site' s security policy by writing security rules that apply to a number of users. All users must be
defined in a group.
7. Create authorization rules as described in the Configuration Guide. The primary function of
Eagle NT is enforcing the authorization rules you define for your site, as detailed in your site' s
security policy.
8. Configure any Generic Service Passer (GSP) protocols required for your site as described in the
Configuration Guide. Eagle NT provides a set of standard application proxies to handle
commonly used services like File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Telnet. All other services are
handled by the GSP.

policy. Refer to the Configuration Guide and Installation Guide for more details on other
